Location: Costa Favolosa — Cádiz, Tenerife, Atlantic Crossing

Summary: A week of cruising, excursions, cancelled tours, new friendships, and the start of a six-day Atlantic crossing towards Brazil aboard the Costa Favolosa.

Monday, 13th November

Today, I arrived in  Cádiz and left the Costa Favolosa for a short guided coach tour of the city. It was nice to stretch my legs and see some of the local sights before returning to the ship.

Today was spent  onboard the Costa Favolosa as it sailed towards Tenerife. A relaxing sea day, enjoying the ship and the calm pace of cruising.

Wednesday, 15th November

The Costa Favolosa docked in  Tenerife this morning. I had pre booked a tour to Mount Teide National Park, including a cable car ride, but the tour company cancelled it. Instead, I joined a shorter tour with Rosa, whom I had met onboard. It turned out to be a pleasant alternative, and we enjoyed exploring part of the island together.
