After Lanzarote the next island Iona docked was Gran Canaria.
Day 6 Thursday 13th November 2025: Las Palmas, Gran Canaria
We were not in a rush to ashore and had a lazy late breakfast. As we we were ready to leave the ship my phone pinged that the Internet had failed at home. For the next hour I was on the phone with VirginMedia support. A replacement router had arrived the day before we left on this trip. With less than a day to install it I had decided to wait until we were back. However, VirginMedia had unilaterally decided to switch the old router off as their algorithms had decided that I had had enough time time to swap routers.
Eventually after one escalation I managed to get the old router switched back on with a deadline for another 14 days before it was turned off again.
From Deck 6 we walked out to the cruise terminal and then down to the quayside. Then headed into the town and through the streets to the promenade.
At Ale-Hop we turned back.
Time for a rest
We sat outside with our drinks and snacks and watched around us.
Without any warning there was a huge gust of wind that carried umbrellas away all around us…
We went into the large shopping mall and did some shopping. The Christmas tree of flamimngos was indeed unusual!
