Today we are in Grand Canaria. This has the pretty small town in it where I got conned last year.
Having gone into a jewellery shop to buy a pretty pendent I returned back to the ship and found myself replaying the encounter in my mind. It didn’t make sense and after I’d rung the phone number on the back of my debit card they found that yes indeed they had taken quite a lot of money out of my account.
I got it back eventually but the event has shaken my confidence.
I want to warn people on board but so far I’ve only told the people I share my table at dinner with.
I find myself unwilling to get off the ship today. I have become timid!
I am reluctant to go far....
The town itself is much like where I live in Cornwall with marinas full of lovely boats where last time I sat in the sun drinking a glass of wine, looking out to sea.
If I do that today I shall try not to be on my own....my usual confidence seems to have left me just now!
I’m not rushing to get out....and I am aware that several on board friendships have become fairly important to my self confidence....oh dear...
Meanwhile the world outside beckons...the sun shines...outside cars are rushing along the road with people going to work...
I am going to join in eventually....I’m just not rushing right now.
