We were anxious to see….
How straight we would walk after being seven days at sea.

But it was…
Very easy setting foot on Las Palmas.

The capital and third largest of the Canary Islands, belonging to Spain,
A tourist attraction for all of Europe because of little rain.

The ship brought nearly 4000 people into this city to shop…..
But since it was Sunday that turned out to be a flop.

All the shops doors were locked,
Because the locals had flocked.

To spend the day at the beach,
And for visitors remain out of reach.

Their unemployment is 32%,
But they do not appear eager to earn an extra cent.

Maybe their share,
From the European Union is more than fair.

But some immigrant vendors in the church squares,
We’re eager to sell their wares.

The landscape is beautiful , the weather terrific.
The Bandana crater a must…see to be specific.

The village off Arucas, Teror and Brigida are absolute treasures,
By any measures.

We had a chance,
To have lunch at a local banana ranch.

Soon after the evening show,
We ended the evening, as tomorrow we again will be on the go.
