La Coruna

The Silversea executive chef has joined the cruise. He has a table in the restaurant set out with port and local cheeses. TSH and Diva’s dessert was taken from this table and a good tasting session took place.  They plan to accompany him to a farmers’ market in a few days, to participate in the selection process.

Diva wanted her photo taken at the table in her formal clothes, so she handed TSH her smartphone. Regular readers will know that TSH has no smartphone but takes excellent pics with his digital SLR. But this makes him heavy handed and 14 almost identical photographs were taken with one heavy finger action.

The tour took in La Coruna itself and the nearby town of Betanzos. Not the most exciting of tours but it ended with a tasty tapas tasting at a restaurant overlooking the ocean. One member of the tour went missing for a while and his wife, desperate for him to hand over some money for her to buy a hat, speculated that he had been kidnapped. Europeans convinced her that the chances of this in a small town in Northern Spain were really quite low. Good sighting of a number of diesel engines on the way back into port.
