This was another travel day, from Santa Cruz de Tenerife to Mainz, Germany. Mainz is about a half hour west of the Frankfort airport, where there is a direct flight home to San Francisco.

We said goodbye to our fabulous 12th floor apartment with the balcony over the harbor, and headed to the bus station. We headed across the street to the Real Club Nautica to make an easy taxi location for the ride to the bus station. Richard called for a taxi, but was unable to communicate our request. A Nautica guard stepped in to speak to the taxi service, order our taxi, and get quick service for us. We again are grateful for everyday people who go out of their way to help us (and remember why we must always ask for help ordering a taxi by phone).

Arriving in Tenerife we flew into the northern airport; now we must fly out of the southern airport almost an hour from Santa Cruz.
