Norwegian Spirit Postcard #6 - Santa Cruz, Tenerife

Picking up from last night, we agreed to go and see the show which I have to admit that I wasn't that interested in. The show itself was a violinist called Gary Lovini who apparently won New Faces in the 80's (I am sure we have seen him before and I wasn't that impressed before). One of conditions for me agreeing to go was that we sat near the back in case I dozed off so we seated ourselves about 4 rows back and close to the aisle (just in case we needed to escape). Anyway an elderly looking Asian couple sat right in front of us and during the show he kept nodding off and when the house lights came up his wife would give him a prod to wake him up. This happened numerous times and we were spending more time watching them as it was hilarious, then about 10 minutes before the end of the show she just got up and left him asleep. He must have sensed she had gone and came to a couple of minutes after but the look on his face was something else as he tried to work out where his wife had gone.



Again we were greeted by cloudy skies on our arrival but this time the sun did break through on the odd occasion and did provide us with several rainbows today. The photo above being the first one of the day.
We opted to walk to the city centre and just stretch our legs, there was a free shuttle service but we decided to make the walk instead. The weather held up for the most part but there was a torrential downpour at one point so we decided to seize the opportunity for some liquid refreshment and one of the many bars.



After the rain had eased off we made our way back to the ship and spent the afternoon catching a few rays of sun in between the large storm clouds. When it did show it was really quite hot but this was in between the showers and darker moments. Its just a shame we couldn't have had a full days worth of sun.
Sailaway was at 5:00pm and for the first time this cruise we had some Bing Bong people as we now like to call them.



Tomorrow is Arrecife and we shall have to wait to find out if this cruise is to continue its cloudy, wet and windy theme...........................
