The nature on Tenerife is far more interesting than the towns Back in January 2020 we came back from a trip in Brazil. Little did we then know that we would not be travelling abroad any more that year or the next. Well, we have visited Tallinn twice, but that doesn't really count as "travelling abroad". In these two years we have done plenty travelling in Sweden and we have enjoyed that immens... Read Full Entry

Ake Och Emma

We are Emma Holmbro and Ake Dahllof. We live in Stockholm, Sweden. We have travelled more or less regularly since the mid 1990-ies and it seems like the more we travel the more difficult it is to decide where to go next. Not because we are running out of places to visit but because we find more places we want to go to faster than we manage to travel to them. Some of the things from our travel bucket list we have ticked off since we started this blog in 2006 are Angel Falls in Ven... full info

If you look at this picture you can see a flat area and behind it a rim.

Hike to Paisaje Lunar

Notice that at lower altitudes there is a thick layer of clouds

Eroded rock

Exposed volcanic rock that has been eroded over thousands of years. This is not Paisaje Lunar, but it resembles it

Paisaje Lunar

Paisaje Lunar is a relatively small area with some slightly unusual rock formations created by volcanic activity followed by erosion.

Ruined house

A ruined house we passed on the way back from Paisaje Lunar

Corridor

Every now and then Ake just has to include one of his signature photos, a corridor

We planned to go to Rhodes but...

We booked a trip to Rhodes but the company cancelled all trips there. Rhodian House in Puerto de la Cruz was the closest we came to Rhodes this time

Hi, it really looks like a beautiful place with a great diversity, nature's wise! I am also a big fan of all volcanic landscapes.

I also love volcanoes
I also love volcanoes. I've been fascinated by them ever since I was a kid and the fascination doesn't get less as I get older either. /Ake

The overcast enhanced that feeling
It was a bit overcast that day. Often that ruins the photos, make them dull and lacking colour. Here I think the cloudy weather instead helped to enhance the fairytale feeling. /Ake

Big bird
This is exactly what a seagull waiting for an opportunity to swoop down on your hot chips looks like :)

Canary Islands
We have not been to the Canary Islands and have only given them minimal thought. I enjoyed reading your blog and we may need to head that direction. I'm glad you came up with a quick solution when your other plans fell apart.

Worth a visit, one visit
We found that Tenerife was worth a visit, but only one visit. We can't see any reason to go back. If we would go to the Canary Islands again some day we would go to one of the other islands instead. /Ake

Lovely - I have many memories of Tenerife from visits there as a child. I'd love to go back and revisit these places again. So nice to see you travelling abroad again, and I completely agree - it doesn't matter where you go, at least you are travelling abroad again! I got such thrills from visiting the Isle of Man last December that I probably wouldn't have got under other circumstances. May there be many more travels for you to come!

Also hope for many future travels
I also hope that there are many future travels for me in the years ahead. I am currently writing blogs from our trip in Germany last summer. I will start publish them a few weeks from now. /Ake
