Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Spain
Borrowed this map image from a fellow ship blogger - she is actually on a different island, Tenerife, but liked visual. Was glad I was assigned to one group that came to Gran Canaries as I have been to Tenerife before.
Today started with me visiting ship in dry dock and getting access to my luggage to swap out some of my warmer clothing for more beach friendly items. The VVR staff were great and was also able to drop off drugs that need refrigeration with the ship's medical staff. They had all our stored luggage in the coral lounge and even our boxes that were shipped via container back in March were in the room, if you needed items from there. Ship looks better and better every time i see it - lots of video and post show daily progress.
I met up with another passenger at the ship, Delia from Oregon, who is in my same group of 8 going to Las Palmas and we shared an uber to Airport and met up with rest of group. Flight left at 3:30pm and we got to Hotel Neptuno by 10pm. They provided us with a lite dinner and now I am settling in for a week hopefully filled with sunshine and relaxation.
The Port of Singapore is massive and thus deserving of it's own post!
Right next to the Flower Dome in Gardens by the Bay is the Cloud Forest Dome .They sell the entry tickets as a joint package. The Cloud Forest currently has a special exhibit, Jurassic World The Experience incorporated into the forest.
Sunday, May 17th in Singapore was the last day for Tulip Mania at the Flower Dome in Gardens by the Bay . Sheri joined me in passion for flowers and we headed over to explore on our last port day here.
