Balcon de Taurito

De tijd hier in Las Palmas gebruiken we om de motor zijn broodnodige onderhoud te laten geven en om de voorraden voor de oversteek naar de Carieb in te slaan.
En om de video beelden van Lanzarote te uploaden. Wat beelden uit het National Park en van het begin van de oversteek naar Las Palmas.

Our boat is moored in the marina at la Palmas (Fact for you Derek: Spains 7th biggest city). The city is pretty dirty and noisy but whilst Nic was here last week we hired a car for a few days and wild camped our way around the island. Again I am suprised at how beatuiful it is - really dramatic mountains and cliffs. Will definitely be back to explore some more and do the trek to the mythical GuiGui beach - a 2 hour climb over a ...

... our friend Rodney then got the 2pm bus to the airport was quite worried about the flight because in England they had really bad weather and 70mph winds all week however the weather clear by the time we flew back :-D
Our flight left 15 mins late however we arrive 15 minutes before schedule and England was very cold Bring on April for my year of Backpacking :-)

... had some type of hippy festival thing going on in Las Palmas bus staion area which was really cool and about 40 little stores to look about then we went for a walk down the port area then got the bus back and had a quiet night in watching spanish tv which was quite good even though i didnt understand it lol..

Today is my birthday and first thing in the morning i opened my cards.
we walked to Maspalomos first thing in the morning and once we got
there we followed the signs to the Camel rides :-)

We got there
and it was quite cheap 12 Euros for a half hour ride through the sand
dunes but they had a sign saying you had to leave yourbag there and
have no belongings on you which i didnt trust because it was all ...

... then went and draged josh out of bed and we walked up the beach 5 miles to Maspalomas, i was swimming in the sea most the way and fighting against the waves which were really big and strong and kept nearly knocking me over.
Early night tonight then it will be my birthday 2moro :-D hoping to go on some sort of boat trip in the next couple days..

... in Maspalomas and looked about the shops didnt
buy anything though all designer shops and cost bout 60 euros for a
t-shirt.. The temperture is 30 degrees and there is not a cloud in the
sky. Got a bus back to the hotel which was a good price. Then went to
reception and they changed us to the 6th floor with a sea view made so
much difffernce and am so happy now cuz josh has stop being grumpy
about it lol .

Adios

O destino não foi muito original, confesso.
Passado um ano da nossa viagem de finalistas, e como já vos contei, nunca mais nos largarmos, e depois de muita teimosia.. lá começámos a namorar. E já lá vão quase 4 anos.

 No verão seguinte.. 2006, portanto. Eu como sempre fui passar férias com os meus pais a Gran Canaria, mas desta vez com uma nova "aquisição".
É verdade, a ...

... 18th. Yvonne left Tuesday morning on the 0700 bus for the airport, travelling home via Barcelona. I walked with her up to bus station and saw her off. I noticed a road up the hills and decided to take a hike into the hills. I walked for miles until I came to a banana farm up on top. The view from the summit was fabulous. On the way back it was starting to get warm and I met the owner of Altair. He was English from Poole and sailed by himself on his Rustler 35, his ...

... 17 anos, sair com os amigos todas as noites até ser de manhã, ficarmos todos juntos e todas as coisas que se fazem na viagem de finalistas.
Foi ai, que conheci o David. (Conheci, como quem diz, comecei a falar com ele. Porque já o conhecia há anos.)
 
Desde logo ficamos grandes amigos. Nessa semana até fizemos os dois um piercing... Basicamente nunca mais nos largámos. :D
