Ah Tenerife

Tenerife at last Yes we arrived safely on Friday 19th. We picked the pilot up at 06:00 and got alongside around 07:00 so it was an early start for us all. Unfortunately our usual berth is busy so we are still sat at a dock used to unload cement and coal from ships, so you can imagine it is not the cleanest of places! I would love to show you some pictures, but after 4 years our trusty old digital camera has given up and gone to camera heaven. I've added it to my list for Santa and posted it up the funnel :-)
The weather (always of interest to us brits) is a cool 25'C with a gusty wind that makes a jacket, scarf and hat essentil - at least until we get acclimatised!
On Saturday we took a long walk and then a bus ride into town and enjoyed being able to walk around without being asked for money, operations or greeted by "Mery Ships, Mercy Ships!"
In the next few days we have over 70 crew leaving the ship either for good or for vacation so it is VERY busy. Hopefully after that we can settle down and try to relax a bit.......
