So this time tomorrow we’ll be saying this time yesterday ……
It’s a bit unexpected but this seems to be the holiday where we’re both the keenest to stay. Funny, because no adventures or hardcore sightseeing – just a great flat, lots of sun and some decent temperatures and quite a lot of decent fish (and I don’t really like fish!).
Nothing new ..
But a lovely view over a lovely lunch. What’s not to like?
But first a couple of (minor, and really not profound) thoughts :
1. If you have an induction hob with instructions in Spanish, it would really help not to include a load of saucepans that don’t work on an induction hob (took us over 24 hours to work that one out);
2. Forgotten what old cars are like – no remote locking, no beepers to guide parking, no cameras etc etc ….
Anyway, we haven’t been far but have found a few diverting places for coffee, lunch, dinner, or just general mooching :
Garachico
Icod
And the world-famous (sic) El Drago tree
La Caletta
Puerto de La Cruz and Orotava
So unmemorable didn’t take any photos!
El Teide
10,000 feet – maybe next time.
Our Village
Our Balcony
It’s nice here!
Our local village
P
Coffee …
Walk ….
Lunch … (possibly one of the nicest fish ever – although the freshness and the view helped)
We’ve moved from Alcala to Icod
And this is the view from the apartment
I think it will do for a few days!
Had a trip up to Masca yesterday
That was just for fun on the way back – it was actually stunning.
Otherwise just a bit of mooching with the weather being warm but not always kind.
With a memorable fish dinner at Muelle Viejo
One of the many things I was looking forward to now I can see without glasses is swimming and seeing where I’m going.
No actual evidence exists, but it was fun!
And it’s a holiday so not a lot to report apart from filling in time between eating and sleeping.
And banana plantations must be one of the least attractive agricultural pictures – all concrete and plastic constructions. But banana blossom is weird.
