This all started on Monday but it’s now Thursday and the first time that I’ve had access to WiFi that actually works, which is surprising as we’re in a hotel up a dirt track in western Rajasthan; anyway I’m deliriously happy to have it. We left home on Monday afternoon and flew direct into New…
It’s Thursday and that means it’s our last day in Tenerife; so there’s shopping to do. It also means a nice unhurried day. After a nice unhurried breakfast we wandered out to the beach in front of the hotel where the local surf school is based. I was looking across to the other side of…
So today we had another go at El Teide, the volcano that dominates the island of Tenerife. Going the “direct” way from Puerto de la Cruz takes you rapidly to altitude via a seemingly endless series of hairpin bends. This requires a great deal of concentration and progress depends mainly on the progress of vehicles…

This morning we decided to visit San Cristobal which is the old capital of Tenerife; actually an easy drive from here but complicated by my apparent inability to follow instructions.

Curiously the airport appeared to be overrun by ladies wearing traditional Welsh hats. No pictures I’m afraid, I bottled out of that. Four hours seems a long time in an aeroplane…
Here we are back in lovely Pen Camneves cottage overlooking the harbour in Newlyn. We had a damp and windy drive down yesterday but today dawned dry and brighter but still windy. Before breakfast Maude and I walk down into the village to a small shack where I buy a newspaper and she gets a…
