Colon Playa Hotel Las Palmas

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.

... rice with tinned tomato, couscous with tinned tomato...but also lots of other stuff too. Chorizo is going to be in most meals to add a bit of excitment but I´m guessing that I will never want to eat it again by the end of this trip. I have a steak with Roquefort sauce meal planned for halfway as a celebration.We are also hoping to catch some fish on our way...supposedly it is quite easy to catch Tuna and Dorado (?) which ...

Today was the last day and i got up early and went for breakfast then did then got a bus to Maspalomas and walked back to Playa del Ingles.
Had a swim in the sea for the last time which was amazing and then back to the hotel to have a shower and pack our stuff for check out at 12 :-(!!
Our flight wasnt till 6:15pm so we went to the Yumbo centre for a drink ...

Today we decided to get a bus to Las Palmas, the first bus stop was the wrong one so had to walk to another bus stop!!



Got the bus and arrived at the station and realised we had got off a stop to early so had to walk about 2 miles to the next one but had a bit good exercise:-)..

buy a photo afterwards.

Along the way the man picked up a little shell and gave it to us for some reason then we saw a lizzard running into the bushes.

Then we got the bus back to our hotel and had a little snooze then went out for dinner.

went to a spanish steak house we had seen which always seemed to have
all the locals in it and i order salad for starter and a steak and

Off for Las Palmas today - yes!!! Back to something more real, and something less tacky. We popped over to the store (this time on foot, rather than in the car) to pick up some more milk to finish off the cereal. We also grabbed some juice, ham, cheese, and buns to make sandwiches for later. We re-traced our drive from last night - a lot less impressive during the daytime, because now you could see the rampant over ...

... bit as good as their English- and have for many years. The odd thing is that I backed down and allowed it, though I certainly wouldn’t go back; it IS my money after all and I don’t particularly appreciate being ‘made’ for a tourist. With the possible exception of TJ, that’s probably the only time that’s happened. Such behavior is typical in Thailand, and I usually refer to it as ‘ ...

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 ...

... tudo muito detalhado, é que algumas viagens já foram há alguns anos e para alem disso, como o blog só está a nascer hoje, são muitas historias para contar ao mesmo tempo.
Aproveito também, para deixar os parabéns ao meu companheiro deste "correr o mundo", que fez ontem os seus 22 suados anos! Nada disto faria sentido sem ti e sendo assim começo com a nossa primeira viagem juntos ...

... 6 mph. And a week later when a customs launch boarded us in our new anchorage, we thought we were destined for 45 years hard labour in a Canarian cave because we hadn´t paid 42 Euros in Las Palmas. Luckily, they didn't care, or have a clue what we were talking about... So here we were on the South Coast of Gran Canaria, in an anchorage which all the sailing guides says doesn´t exist, consequently its very quiet and close knit, almost too close knit! If a new boat ...
