Hi All
Last post mentioned we have arrived in Tenerife, we
both have a cold/bug that Meg brought with her so we were both exhausted after
the over night. We arrived in Santa Cruz, found the marina, put a movie on for
the kids and crashed.That afternoon we went into the capital, had lunch walked
around, its very different from Lanza as it is green. When we arrived and till
the next morning nobody from the marina was around, so we could not check in.
Yesterday lunch time they eventually came round to the boat and asked me to
check in. The marina was 27 per night, but they wanted to charge harbour dues of
70, I said that's outrageous and we refuse to pay the harbour dues so they said
leave, so we left and paid nothing.It was a horrible run down place so happy to
leave anyway. Unfortunately the wind was blowing hard, steep waves and we
were running out of day light, so we set off for the South coast. We arrived
here at 10PM a great marina, good price no silly taxes and friendly
helpful people. We have checked in for 3 days and rented a car to see the
island.
Here are the catch up photos from Megs
trip
Cal on the camel ride, think that is more of a
grimace than a smile
Yes camel saddles, the in thing apparently. Meg is
on with Cal, to balance they needed a really heavy sand bag (can say that now
she is not here)
hmmm aahhh "camel toe"
This is the crater we went on the ride
in
The resturant cooks all it's food over this hole
which has volcanic heat , the floor of the resturant was so hot and it took us a
while to work out why our feet were so hot
This is the logo for the national park, guess they
were working on the "hot as hell" theme
Meg on the surfers paradise, it was great watching
them, big waves and we were really close. This was close to where Lauren went on
the athletics school camp.
