Wednesday, November 2 – Las Palmas, Canary Islands
After nearly two months of visiting plazas, museums, and cathedrals we wanted to relax today. We walked from the port to Playa de las Canteras, a beautiful beach less than 10 minutes from the port. Gary would tell you it was an especially beautiful beach because it was typical to many European beaches, (topless). We really felt like one of the locals. Other than a handful of other cruisers who just strolled thru, we were the only people there that were off the two ships in port. After about three hours of sun we started working our way back to the ship stopping at the local mall on the way to have a beer and coke at a terrace café. While walking thru the mall we noticed that the McDonalds had free Wi-Fi so it was back to the ship to get my computer and have a chance to check my email. The connection was slow, but still enjoyed. Once we leave the Canary Islands, we will be on the six day transatlantic crossing and will not have any TV or satellite connection for a portion of the crossing. The itinerary has changed because of a thruster problem and we will go to Freeport for two days while the ship is repaired instead of heading to Grand Turk.
