OFF TO THE TEIDE

Yesterday was an adventurous one. We picked up a car early(ish)
and went exploring. It was a baby car and did manage the mountains,
though it was typical Alpine roads. First we went to Masca where

were spectacular, we were in the clouds and you could see the sea far below as
well as competing clouds on La Gomera. We discovered a great bar and
accommodation – so if you really want to get away from it all, we can
give you their telephone number! They have kept it really old-fashioned
and the roads are so narrow, its really restricting all but the very dedicated
from visiting – a bonus on this island. From there we went up Heads in the clouds……
