This morning another cruise ship had arrived in port, even bigger than the one on Christmas Day. This one was from a German cruise company.
We had planned on taking the bus up to Vallehermoso as today's weather forecast was for clear skies up there but as soon as we saw the huge crowd of hikers at the bus station with their rucksacks boots and poles we realised we would never get there.
These cruise ship passengers are becoming a bit of a nuisance!
Instead, we took a short walk up the hill leading out of town then walked back, stopping off to buy some bread and beers at the market on the way back.
Looks like we are destined never to make it up to Vallehermoso!
What a fantastic plant.
ReplyDeleteIt was certainly unusual. Not seen anything like it before
DeleteI think these large cruise ships are becoming a nuisance in so many places.
ReplyDeleteThs local people we have chatted with agree that they cause many problems but spend very little whilst here.
DeleteFingers crossed you get to Vallehermoso before your trip ends. Where was Elfie today?
ReplyDeleteElfie went back home to Father Christmas after Christmas Eve. I expect he is now doing whatever Christmas elves do the rest of the year 😉
DeleteHe is writing a message to Mummy Elf. It says, "Because you sent me back to The Santa Claus School for Maladjusted Elves, I have arranged for several cruise ships to dock at La Gomera just to annoy you and Daddy Elf! Tomorrow the cruise ship will be filled with drunken football supporters chanting obscenities."
DeleteThanks, as ever, Mr P for your good wishes
DeleteYou're welcome my dear.
