DAY 1 Finally time for holidays. It was Sunday night and our flight was in the early morning. Destination for this time was Tenerife, Canary Islands. Unfortunately the flight to Tenerife was not at a desirable time. Especially when you are not able to sleep in a plane. After the check in procedure at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and entering the plane, the flight took off.
After approximately 4 hours of flying we approached Tenerife. Above the clouds one of the important sight seeing was visible. The El Teide Volcano. After landing and and the transfer to our hotel at Playa de las Americas we were so exhausted that we needed a nap to recover.
When we woke up it was quite late in the afternoon and we started to have a walk to orient the surrounding. Our first impression about Playa de las Americas was quite good. Nice boulevards, cute restaurants, good looking shopping areas and cosy bars.
A nice walk trough the centre and walking back via the path on the seaside we enjoyed the sunset and went back to the hotel as it was time for dinner.
With this hotel we were lucky about
the choices and the quality of the food. We enjoyed our first nice Spanish dinner of our holiday.
After the delicious dinner it was time to explore the nightlife. At Playa de las Americas there are many pubs. Most of them are more oriented to tourist from England. We took some drinks at random clubs. After some club hopping, we went to a bar street called Veronica's. The best description of this area:
MAYHEM! Every bar is offering a promotion, like you pay 10 Euro for entrance and you get 4 drinks for free. When you repeat this 2 times at the 3rd bar you'll get your 12th drink, with all consequences of it. At the late hours you sit and watch to drunk and fighting people.
If you like malicious pleasure, watching to pole dancers and want to try laughing gas as drugs, you are here at the right place. After some drinks and feeling the effect of alcohol, we (actually Cigdem) decided not to go until the edge and go back to the hotel in a quite sober condition.
Day 2 After waking up and having a breakfast it was time for a relaxing day at the swimming pool. Beside relaxing at the pool and swimming we walked a bit around and went for shopping. The surrounding looks very beautiful. Palm trees everywhere. What also was notable is that where a lot of lizards walking around. Very funny to see them. The rest of the day we spent as a regular day. After diner at the hotel lobby there was an opportunity to make pictures with some predatory birds. In the evening we were again at the bad spots of Veronica's and survived the chaos over there.
Day 3
Today the weather was a bit cloudy and the temperature was not really to enjoy the swimming pool. A good opportunity to discover the rest of the island. We went to a tour operator to rent a car and get some advice to add it to our 'to do' list. At the tour operators place we arranged a nice car for 3 days and got some advice about places to visit. First point to do today was going trough the mountains and heading to the volcano 'El Teide'
