La Coruna


Today our toilet broke. I sense the puns coming already…reported to cabin steward and promptly fixed. No harm done and nothing sat fermenting while waiting for it to be fixed…

La Coruna is a mish mash of building styles, both old and new and 70’s style council flats. A real mixed bag. We walked around for a few hours taking in the views, wondering why most places were closed and came to the conclusion that the tram lines were no longer used. Although it was only 12c it felt warmer when the wind dropped, but when the wind picked up, by Jove it was cold.

Back on the boat it was burger time and although we didn’t see an old lady sucking on one we did see a couple getting FIVE meals between them. I say couple, it was the wife that did all the getting. They ordered two creamy cocktails and she then proceeded to wander off to get two chicken wraps, two portions of chips and coleslaw. Then she vanished again and came back with two pizzas and two more portions of chips. But this was not enough so she vanished again and came back with a chicken burger and chips.

The funniest thing? They left one and a half wraps and the burger……people starving in Kenya you know!! (No, not the British Army…..)

During this time we alternated between being quite warm in the sun and freezing the proverbial off.  Hopefully as we sail further darn sarf the weather will improve. Right now it’s is rocky as hell. Good job I’m drunk to counteract the effects.
