Bye-Bye Braemar

Posted on January 31, 2014June 30, 2022 by bollingerbabe

When we got up this morning after another rough night at sea we were back where we started from, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.  Some other lucky people would be in cabin 7050 tonight, just starting their cruise, whereas for us our holiday is finished.  🙁 At the end of each voyage every passenger receives…

Wine Sampling in Tenerife

Posted on October 19, 2010March 31, 2022 by bollingerbabe

This morning we woke up in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the largest of the seven main Canary Islands.  We had been here last two years ago, on the Black Prince.  Interestingly, whilst most British people pronounce it ‘ten-er-reef’ its actual pronunciation is four syllables long, i.e. ‘ten-er-reef-ay’. We spent the morning just doing our own…
