Dr. Jose Navieras 24-A Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain and Canary Islands, 38001
Our wake up call had us up at 06:00 hours - plenty of time to get up, ready and off to Tenerife Norte aeropuerto (you see, we are on the south-western side - so a long journey for us). Anyhow, back to the story ... we made good time getting ready, packing and loading up the rental car. We left Pearly Grey by 07:00 hours - perfect - couldnīt timed it out better. We drove in the dark, making our way up the eastern side of the island on the lovely TF-1 Autopista Sur - the only really great autor...
Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain and Canary Islands hvbaskeyWe had a pleasant day in Santa Cruz. The morning, it rained (typical of the North), but in the afternoon - the sun began to shine its warm rays. We spent the day cruising the area where there were loads of sales on. There was so much to choose from, I couldīt make one decision on what to buy! so didnīt get a thing. Marks & Sparks (Spencers) was having a big sale (affected by the credit crunch, many stores are shutting down), but again - I couldnīt pick out only a few things to fit into my...

... wine and enjoying themselves and as you would expect surrounded by ploughed fields and vine yards all with running irrigationwater, if you stand and look enough you will find quite a few humorous scenes as well. Then you have Mary and Joseph with baby Jesus being visited by the Three Kings bearing gifts.
There are many of these Belens around the Island and they are well worth going to have a look at.

Omdat Arico zo'n groot en mooi klimgebied is en we daar nog verschillende routes gezien hebben die binnen onze mogelijkheden liggen, besluiten we er nog maar eens een dagje naartoe te trekken.
Effe stevig beginnen met een uitdagende overhang, daarna ne 6a met ne variant 6b (die te moeilijk bleek). Nog een paar 5-kes en opnieuw ne 6a. Dit toen de armen helemaal op waren! Ne kanshebber voor ne ...
Vandaag staat er een nieuw dagje klimmen op het programma.
Bestemming El Rio, een klimgebied dat gelegen is in een canyon achter een stuwdam. Het stuwmeer staat momenteel echter leeg en alle klimzones zijn bereikbaar.
Na de "makkelijke" routes geklommen te hebben, proberen we nu maar eens om het touw boven om ...
... hoogte en komen we de “Heuvos del Teide” tegen. Dit zijn grote ronde rotsblokken die de eieren van de Teide worden genoemd. Er is hierover een informatiepaneel aanwezig. Het landschap wordt gekenmerkt door geel lavagruis. Na 5 kilometer zijn we op 2740 meter hoogte en begint de echte klim richting de Teide.
Als we niet naar boven gaan en het brede pad zouden volgen komen we weer op de Montana Blanca uit.
Het begin van de klim staat met bebording aangegeven. Het pad gaat ...
... How dare he, that's my line! When I look over at him as he sleeps with a big satisfied smile I know it's not for me....... The only thing he hasn't done yet is call out her name while he sleeps. Not Pete you say, good old faithful Pete, calmly put up with anything Pete, Yes that Pete. So I have decided to take matters into my own hands and have "An Affair To Remember" of my own. I'll have to take Harri as a chaperon of course but after 3 ...

Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain cait113... br>Dejected, I walked back to the pension to collect my things. On the way, I noticed a hot backpacker sitting on a bench outside of the church, playing with her belly button. This temporarily made me forget about the pain of missing out on the Isabel pastries.
I needed to return the rental car at 10:30, but my ferry wasn't scheduled to depart until 11:30. To kill time, I sat at the docks on a concrete block planning the day's activities. I ...
