The Old Town
We reached the huge marina in Las Palmas on June 4th after a good day at sea. We got into an acceleration zone south of Fuerteventura, but it was not too bad, and it didn´t last for long. We had a nice sail, except for the last part, when we had to use the motor as the wind was dead a head.
The first day we brought out the bikes to discover the Old Town of Las Palmas. It didn´t cover a big area, but was very charming. Highlights were the Cathedral with its museum and The Canary Museum where we for the first time learned something about the islands original people. Only when we came to the room with more than 100 skeletons, the captain decided it was enough!
