Subject: Gran Canaria (c) We have spent the time with visiting yet more
chandleries to sort out various teething problems with the boat and awaiting
spares to come from the mainland.A never ending story when one is lucky enough
to own a boat! We have had a couple of excursions to the south of the island and
further inland.The North is much nicer in our opinion as it is not so 'touristy,
the south being totally designed for the tourist.We were told that we must visit
the south to see the sand dunes which are enormous and are certainly worth a
visit, the area has been the location of many a film set as it is
just like being in the middle of the dessert. The difference being just over the horizon is the usual island of
sunbeds occupied by mainly German tourists and the smell of fast foods.The
landscape here in GC is very varied from very lush in the interior and very arid
and barren to the south.
