We left A Coruna at midday and are now travelling at 14 knots in a NNE direction. There is quite a swell and Susan is feeling the effect a little so we've decided to opt out of formal dinner thisWeiterlesen

Pouring with rain all the time we are here except for a few hours when we were in Santiago. We berthed here overnight because the seas in the Bay of Biscay are a little rough! So we have not venturedWeiterlesen

A very wet morning here in the Catalan district of Spain. Our scenic tour was a bit of a wash out. We could only just make out the eucalyptus rigs in the bay used for oyster growing.
Not a lot to sayWeiterlesen

Lovely weather today although cool this morning. Our bus driver told us we were lucky because yesterday had been wet and cloudy.
The views from the top of the rock were amazingly clear. We couldWeiterlesen
Reisender We were struck by how much Gibraltar is determined to emphasise its "Britishness". We expected red pillar boxes and traditional red phone boxes but perhaps not quite so many British pubs offering a bill of fare you'd find in any British town: pie and chips, lasagne and chips, burgers and scampi and, of course, the inevitable fish and chips! Every street corner seemed to have or to advertise "traditional British fish and chips, with mushy peas and chip shop vinegar. The monkeys are all fed twice daily on a healthy diet of seeds, fruit and nuts but they have been known to make forays down into town to search out and steal more interesting food. I don't know if they too are fans of fish and chips!!

Lovely to be back in Funchal after 6 years. We berthed just by the gardens we used to walk through on our way back to our hotel after an evening meal. Too early in the year for the purple flowers ofWeiterlesen

Everyone coming back from excursions on la Palma today have said what a beautiful island it is and I can well believe it. It looks very green with the usual high volcanic mountains. We spent our timeWeiterlesen
