Our planned departure from La Palma today has been
forcibly delayed by the absence of wind. So the crew were literally forced to
lounge around in the hot November sun by the pool side at the Real Club Nautico
La Palma, and then take refuge from the hustle & bustle in the ice cream
parlour. Real ice cream is hard to find here (lots of Wall's horrible Carte D'Or
for some reason we can't fathom) but this place is a gem. Ice cream made behind
the counter in the shop in front of your very eyes. The chocolate here is
literally the best I have tasted anywhere - and I've tasted a lot, believe you
me. It's just a shame we have to leave, but luckily we know of an Italian ice
cream shop by the wonderful beach at Las Palmas which awaits our
arrival.
