Lopesan Baobab Maspalomas

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..

very good so went to nixonos which is a club and stayed there till 4am

... is a caberet drag bar Then when we got back to the hotel Josh went to bed and i walked by the pool and ended up trying out my german speaking skills with a group of Germans which i wasnt very succesful at, then went to the hotel room and woke up in the night and was sick too much alcohol opps..
Woke up this morning struggled to eat ...

... and all the light was blocked out and

hotel lobby and asked to change room but they said not now come back
2moro errrrrrrr!! So we went back in the morning and they said come
back later.

Today
walked along the beach to Maspalomas which is about a 5 mile walk was
really warm and ...

Mingling by the harbour bars, meeting a lot of people and planting the seeds for the crossing. It´s all about singing along and chatting with whomever is next to you. Good things come to those who wait...inshallah : )

... primeira viagem como namorados, já foi com sogros :D. 

 O David só chegou lá dois dias depois de mim, pois esteve a fazer um trabalho de verão bem chatinho, ao qual eu me orgulho muito, da sua paciência. Mas depois dele chegar, foi tudo muito bom. Tivemos um grande quarto só para nós com tudo o que tinhamos direito, inclusive um closet e vista para a piscina e para o ...

... 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 ...
