This morning we arrived in Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the Canary Islands, and Irit and Einat went of on a tour “In search of whales and dolphins”. Albert, Lilly, my girls and I met for breakfast on deck 10 with a view of the town. Since Lilly and Albert were on a tour yesterday in Lanzarote, we had decided that they would have an easy day today without any excursions.
Nevertheless I suggested that we go to town for lunch in some nice restaurant and then back to the ship. My Dad, quite typically, asked “What’s the purpose? We can have lunch on the ship.” Which certainly we can. There is enough food on board to feed the whole of Biafra every mealtime. It’s not that he’s looking to save (nobody who wants to save would invite 7 people for a cruse like this…..). It’s just he couldn’t see what is the functional purpose of going to town for lunch. Fortunately for the rest of us hedonists, no purpose is required. Enjoyment is quite enough………
I asked my Dad whether he would like to join us on a tour of the cruise ship's kitchens. "What for?", he asked,"the food is perfectly good....."
