Is Hiperdino somewhere near The Lost City of Atlantis or a supermarket in Corrie?

Mrs J heard at the school this morning that the ferries to Lanzarote are being cancelled later today due to predicted 6m waves, apparently tomorrow is the same. Dull and overcast here in the North.

Still some very strong winds and big seas forecast for north of Lanzarote  - we look to be escaping the worst of it!
