Brumby (DE 1044) - Naval Cruise Book

juich is the second hill and is the site of the Na- tional Palace, built for the Exposition of 1929 and containing the Fine Arts Museum of Catalonia. The hill also has parks shaded roadways and res- taurants. lt was here, too, that we watched the time trials of the Barcelona Grand Prix as the racers turn the peaceful beauty of the parks into a racing circuit. This was probably the best part of our visit to Barcelona. A one-day trip was made to the famous mon- astery of Montserrat where a church and other buildings are nestled on the rocky ledges of the Dolomites. A three-day trip was made to the tiny country of Andorra for skiing. There were no broken legs but several sunburns. BRUMBY left Barcelona on 17 April and made brief stops at Palma, Mallorca where we had a ships party and Rota where we made ready for the trip home. The cruise was almost over but that trip across the Atlantic would be too long. The ship made the regular fueling stops in the Azores and in Bermuda. Ship to shore telephone calls were made and at last land was sighted onradar. At 1010 on 3 May, the BRUMBY pulled into NAVSTA, Mayport com- pleting a highly successful cruise of 35000 miles in the five months away from home.
