Rare VMax1700 Posted April 26 Author #127 Share Posted April 26 I will do the 'housekeeping' of menus etc later, but we had a great day touring part of Tenerife arranged by @sailingdutchy Tony . We had a great day, a fine lunch and wonderful conversation. The guide whom Tony picked was absolutely top class. We visited Icod de los vinos and Garachico along the north coast. Our guide selected various plates for our lunch which we all shared, including bean soup, grilled cheese with sauces, berenjenas con miel ( deep fried sliced egg plant drizzled in local palm honey), and goat stew with canarias potatoes. The onboard entertainment tonight was a Flamenco group, who gave an above average, though unatmospheric, performance. Flamenco is not local to las Canarias but the tourists expect it! We have a late sailaway tonight at 11pm for the short trip to Gran Canaria. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VMax1700 Posted April 26 Author #128 Share Posted April 26 (edited) Nieuw Statendam moored at the terminal in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The terminal building was spotlessly clean and bright. Security was within the terminal building and there was a shop selling alcohol after the security check. There was no further check when boarding the ship. And here is the location of the docked NSDM relative to the city. Edited April 26 by VMax1700 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiseaholic78 Posted April 27 #134 Share Posted April 27 Two thoughts for today if I may. Yesterday we sat in our bus waiting for our tour to begin when a discussion ensued between a couple with a “service dog” in a stroller and our driver. This took thirty minutes and we are not sure what exactly happened but in the end they got off our bus and got on a different one. Possibly with a dog lover! Heard at breakfast today ”Sir how would you like your eggs? I would like them hard! Sometimes it might be useful to learn a few English words before boarding 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiseaholic78 Posted April 27 #136 Share Posted April 27 (edited) What he meant was a “hard boiled egg” I thought it was funny but might be my twisted sense of humour. Edited April 27 by cruiseaholic78 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English language can be so open to misinterpretation. E.g. what is the opposite of 'easy'? Well it is 'difficult' or 'hard'. So, what is the opposite of ' egg over easy'? Is it 'egg over hard' (which is the way DW asks for them)? Eggs 'hard' could be fried or boiled. However if I had to order eggs in Dutch, I would probably end up a vegan.🙄 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare VMax1700 Posted April 27 Author #150 Share Posted April 27 Viewers of Port Evergades Sailaways will understand the significance of this feeling of Deja vu! MSC Virtuoso was docked at the adjacent pier when out of the corner of my eye I spotted a familiar sight.........white trucks! There were similar trucks yesterday in Teneriffe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
