La Coruna 11th-19th August
Back to La Coruna. Same good town, same crummy showers; only improved (!!) by
them moving the washing machine in to the men’s washrooms; so now you can shower
and chat to the women next door doing her ‘smalls’; very friendly.
Back to England for Chris for a week to help Max set up camp in Leeds……….and
a hoped for first sight of new member of the clan, Sonny Debice! Rock on Dax and
Susie!
Girls go serious shopping in absence of skipper.
Broken camera (reason or lack of pictures on recent postings) gone for repair
in uk.
The girls had a great week in La Coruna, very sociable with cruisers from all
nationalities exchanging plans and enjoying the company. Maddie played happily
fishing on the dock, where the age range of the children she met ,4-14 , and
language differences seemed unimportant. We met several ARC boats as well as old
friends from Biscay Triangle last year. We toured the city visiting the science
centre/planetarium, the Torre de Hercules, the only remaining ,working Roman
lighthouse and the excellent aquarium. This region is also the home of some
important Galician designers, namely Amancio Ortega of Zara which we further
explored naturally.
