... 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 :-(!!

 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 ...

Bom, como podem ver, este será o nosso "caderno" de viagens.
