New Years Eve

At midnight last night we joined many other crew outside on Deck 8, and welcomed in the New Year by watching the port's massive firework display, whilst all over Santa Cruz and across the water on Gran Canaria even more fireworks filled the sky. Keeping with tradition, all the ships in the port sounded their horns at midnight, including the Queen Victoria which was berthed directly next to us; the sound of her horn was so loud that it nearly blew us away - I could feel it vibrating my clothes. It was a most enjoyable and memorable way to welcome in the New Year. Olly
