The weather is getting warmer as we head south. It was 70+ degrees in the Canary Islands. Tenerife, the capital, was very tourist friendly. As you left the port area, maps indicated several city walking tours that you could take and were identified with colored stripes on the sidewalks that you could follow. Other tours directed you to a nearby tram stop, where you could purchase your ticket and ride to the designated location. We chose to take the tram to La Laguna, which is the old colonial capital of the Canary Islands. The architecture was from the early 1500s. Our overall impression was that Tenerife was clean, the people were friendly, the taxi drivers were not pushy, and they made it very easy to tour the island on your own.
Knowing that this day would be followed by four sunny, warm, relaxing days at sea, we did a lot of walking today. We leave the old world this afternoon, heading towards the New World!
