Obiad noworoczny zjedliśmy w knajpie na parkingu. W każdej innej sytuacji denerwowałyby nas ustawione wokół samochody, ale w tym jednym miejscu stanowią one o klimacie. Do tego pyszna zupa rybna, ośmiornica i papryczki. Mały L mimi niedawnych dolegliwości żołądkowych kazał się karmić krewetkami z zupy, a MałaEm jak dziecko najgorszego sortu, wcinała ośmiornicę szpikulcem. Ostatniego wieczoru Hiszpania pokazała nam swoje prawdziwe bijące serce. Około północy poszliśmy do Taski, z nadzieją na muzykę, ale choć było dużo ludzi, akurat nikt nie grał. Kręcił się jednak Idianin, którego wyraźnie palce świerzbiły, żeby poszarpać struny. Gruszeczka paliła papierosa za papierosem i z miną primadonny konwersowała ze znajomymi. Mały, co gra na pudle i jest pilnowany przez dziewczynę kręcił się trzymając ją - wyglądającą na wymęczoną - za rękę. Napisaliśmy do M., żeby przyszła, bo może jednak będz... read more

Mając tylko tydzien, trzeba sie bardzo spieszyc, zeby odwiedzić wszystkie stare miejsca i ewentualnie sprawdzić jeszcze nowe. Ostatnie dni upłynęły nam wiec troche na plażowaniu, bo pogoda w tym roku jest jak drut, troche na jedzeniu ośmiornicy, Q dodatkowo na surfowaniu, a nam na odwiedzaniu placów zabaw. Wczoraj śmialam sie, gdy podsluchalam w szkole surfowej rozmowę surfera z dziewczyna. On pyta "do you want to eat?", a ona na to "if you want to surf I'll wait". I dzis sama sie tak czułam. Q na desce, a ja w tym czasu przewinelam 3 kupy, odkryłam, ze koty sąsiadów obsikały nam wózek i z L w nosidełku oraz małąEm drepczącą obok zrobiłam zakupy we Fruterii na dwa dni. Koty sąsiadów szaleją juz od jakiegos czasu i wczesniej obsikaly nam wycieraczkę, dając znac, ze musimy na nie uważać. ... read more

Dziś rano po przebudzeniu musiałam dobra chwile zastanowić sie, gdzie jestem. Nie pasowało mi wysokie łóżko i twardy zagłówek. Wiedziałam, ze to juz nie stary dom, ale chyba tez nie nowy. Dopiero po chwili przypomnialam sobie, ze jestemy na Teneryfie. A wszystko dlatego, ze ostatni tydzien, a w sumie to i 3 tygodnie od powrotu z Namibii były jak rollercoaster. Nie mialam kiedy skonczyc bloga i napisc o winach w okolicy Capetown i o lwach w Etoshy. Musieliśmy skończyć remont i w tym celu znalezc nowa ekipe, dokupić gniazdka, farby, lampy i inne takie, spakować sie częściowo, sprzątnąć w nowym domu, 23.12. przeprowadzić sie, 24.12. wydać wigilię, spakowac sie na wykaz tu. 26.12. L dostał jeszcze temperatury i Wielkiej Sraczki, a 27.12. rano wylatywalismy. Obudziłam sie wiec dzis na Teneryfie nie wiedząc gdzie tak naprawdę jestem, ... read more

Tuesday 22nd December, 2015. Tenerife We docked at Santa Cruz de Tenerife which is in the state of the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and one of the capitals of the Canary Islands. It is part of one of the two biggest metropolitan areas in the islands with 423,198 inhabitants, and itself the second biggest city in the archipelago, second to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria with whom it shares the status of capital city. We weren't sure how easy it would be to find a car hire place but our worries were unfounded. We met up with Tony and Sheila (accidentally) after breakfast and they showed us the short way to the port gates. They asked us to pass on their best wishes to Angela, Audrey and Hallett (if we were to see her). ... read more

Thursday 11th December, 2015. Depart UK and Embark Braemar, Tenerife, Canary Islands Having spent the night with our friends Rosemarie and Philip in Epsom we were relieved when the pr-booked taxi arrived pretty much dead on time. We had the quickest and smoothest ever check-in at the airport but had to re-pack as both our hold bags were underweight but the cabin bags were over. The flight was 4 and a half hours and we were given a hot breakfast on board. We landed at Tenerife South but were departing from the port of Santa Cruz De Tenerife which is on the North East coast. We were allocated bus 3 for the journey. The landscape was very barren with lots of cacti and desert vegetation. Pretty uninspiring but we will take a closer look when we ... read more

Geo: 28.2893, -16.5557No official tours booked today as we had docked at Santa Cruz in Tenerife and had arranged to meet Wanda, Stefan's sister. We walked the long walk from the ship into town and went round the side streets and main street looking for a restaurant to book for lunch. All we could find initially were little cafes. Eventually back on the front we found a nice one. Wanda and friend James who had driven her up arrived at the War Memorial where we had arranged to meet and off we went to "Olympo" a restaurant on Plaza Candelaria. The staff are friendly, prices reasonable and food good but not as good as on the ship. We opted for Paella as that is one thing we haven't had on the ship so far. The rain ... read more

We are actually ready to go home now. Today we had our final early start. We are flying from London Gatwick home to Tenerife South. We were up and awake for 4.30am. Our EasyJet flight leaves at 7.30am, so we leave the hotel at about 5.30am. All our bags were checked inlast night, so it was straight through security and customs into the departure lounge. We have seen many international departure lounges over the last six weeks. The selection on offer here does not seem as comprehensive as we have seen in a lot of the other places on our route. We had food leftover from last night, so found a seat in the middle of the departure lounge and just bought coffees whilst we waiting for our flight to be called. Luckily, our plane was ... read more

WEEK 1 It has begun! Waited for over two months and I'm finally here so far I haven't done any diving... Boo... However I have met some great people from all over the world from USA, Australia, New Zealand to holland, Germany and Cornwall and a couple of mad lads from Ireland... Standard. I am currently staying with 3 lads, a German an Australian and a half Thai half English guy a 10 minute walk from the dive centre and the rest of the dive master interns. The weather is as you would expect in the middle of May, high 20's sometimes creeping into the thirties at some points in the day which definitely is an improvement than the Scouse weather which was 5 degrees and raining when I left, not missing home yet... So we're ... read more
