However the rest of the week was hot quite hot and unbroken sunshine. We stayed at ldquoParque Santiago 4rdquo in Playa de Las Americas and the resort itself was quite disappointing considering the amount of people we have heard visit the area before. There is little in the way of a beach and what there is is the bl http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Canary-Islands/Tenerife/blog-292371.html I'm still in Tenerife and enjoying the wonderful volcanic scenery....but there's a particular reason I wanted to stay tooFrom the 19 June until the 22nd Tenerife will convert into a haven for Europersquos golf lovershellipor in fact anyone who wants to enjoy the beautiful scenery of this unique Canary Island. The 7th Tenerife Ladies Open Tournament takes place over these exciting 4 days w http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Canary-Islands/Tenerife/blog-281395.html Tenerife is great if you like a fun in the sun holiday. Having already been to Lanzorote I much preferred Tenerife for entertainment. You can have as much or as little as you like. Loro Parque is an absolute must visit it's not like your traditional zoo as it's more show based so plan your day carefully around the shows to make sure you see them all. I didn't like the parrots too much as they did http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Canary-Islands/Tenerife/blog-276283.html Really did enjoy many trips to Tenerife a bit like Blackpool in the Sun in places.

Tenerife is a Spanish island in the Atlantic Ocean. I am going there to spend some time take some sun and practice some sport like parapente. It such a lovely sport and in that wonderful island it is even better. The other thing that I am not loosing is to try papas arrugadas.I have http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Canary-Islands/Tenerife/blog-265385.html So the hotel is just perfect Last nights inclusive dinner was a bit iffy but still filled me up.. regardless of all the strange stares... noone comes alone to this place.. its all 65 or 19yr olds trying to get drunk for a week straight.. and tattos there is a tatto parlor downstairs... After dinner I retired to my room due to the fact that the only thing to do here at dark is go to clubs or http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Canary-Islands/Tenerife/blog-243531.html HELLO ALL YOU CHILLY PEOPLE I am now in the canary islands off the coast of africa and loving it.. i just go tto my hotel which is like a studio apt and its amazing Its all inclusive too and soo cheap ahaha.. so i just got my beer and im headed to the pool..its kinda late in the day so i will beach it up tomorrow morning and start seeing the sights It is about 75 degrees here and a bit of a http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Canary-Islands/Tenerife/blog-243148.html Primi giorni di sole. Tenerife non sono i Caraibi ma gi la differenza con l'Italia immensa. Per la verit l'inizio non era stato troppo incoraggiante con ritardo di tre ore nel volo da Barcellona e contro ogni pronostico pioggia all'arrivo sull'isola. Mi alloggio da Elisa che ormai da anni vive qui.

I had the chance to add some photos onto the site but I accidentally posted them to the last blog entry.

Made our first stop yesterday after three full days at sea. We stopped just for the morning in Tenerife. The weather has begun to get better 17 degrees when we arrived and it rose to the low twenties in the afternoon. We were greeted by a group of singers and dancers but no brass band as there was in Southampton. I done the wrong thing in the afternoon a http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Canary-Islands/Tenerife/blog-229755.html Before we planed our trip to Tenerife we had made lots and lots of inquiries regarding the places we should see but especially the roads as we intended to rent a car and I was supposed to be the driver.From the images on Google Earth the roads looked ok mountains curves steep slopes but still ok. I felt confident and ready to prove my skills. What the hell I had been driving 3000 km in Crete http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Canary-Islands/Tenerife/blog-225735.html Don't miss the shows in Loro Parque http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Canary-Islands/Tenerife/blog-225416.html Loro Parque with its various beings... http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Canary-Islands/Tenerife/blog-225408.html Loro Parque a place named Heaven... http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Canary-Islands/Tenerife/blog-225402.html In the National Park of El Teide....Each hour it looks so differentYou lose track of time and wonder if you are still on Earth or ....maybe on Mars http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Canary-Islands/Tenerife/blog-225396.html Irsquom pretty sure that everything interesting about this island was already told as Tenerife is the best known and the most visited from the Canarian islands.On the other hand I am convinced that no matter how good narrator you are words are not enough to describe the beauty and greatness of this island. I myself had read a lot about it had seen lots and lots of pictures and felt prepared to http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Canary-Islands/Tenerife/blog-225081.html Shelley Jonalyn and I Gary are in London until 1 January 2008.

Nach unserem aufregendem Tag in den Bergen des Nordosten der Insel haben wir beschlossen wieder in Richtung Sden zu fahren und dort Isabel zu treffen. Also machten wir uns aus nach El Medano.

Als nchstes Reiseziel hatten wir Puerta de la Cruz anvisiert eine Stadt im Norden der Insel von der aus wir den Rest des Nordens erkunden wollten. Allein die Fahrt nach Puerta war atemberaubend. Sie fhrte uns durch die hohen Vulkanberge der Insel mit teilweise wunderschnem Ausblick.

Our goal was to hike up to a refuge that was a few hundred meters from the top of Teide stay the night and wake up before dawn to hike up to see the sunrise ov http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Canary-Islands/Tenerife/blog-178748.html Yesterday was the third 4th of July in a row that I've managed to spend out of the country although I'm not sure if the Virgin Islands really counts. It was really odd here because there's absolutely no other Americans here so it was pretty easy to forget what day it was. My boss here did say he wanted to get cakes to celebrate getting rid of America. It's really interesting to see that despi http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Canary-Islands/Tenerife/blog-177614.html I'm just coming to the end of my second weekend in Tenerife. If anything it was even more actionpacked than last weekend. On Saturday I went down to the port early to go diving. We went out on a zodiac with about eight people to do a drift dive a little ways off shore. The current was really strong we had to pull ourselves down to the botton with the anchor line of the boat. The dive was co http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Canary-Islands/Tenerife/blog-176016.html Ive now been on Tenerife for a week and have gotten into the rhythm of the program.

There's about 13 volunteers here now so we work on a rotation about 8 people out on the boats and 5 at the houseresearch room.
