Geo: 28.7383, -13.8681Up early for the flight to the Canary Islands. We had breakfast at "La Sirena Verde", a place just outside of the hotel. It was pretty early - 6 AM - you wouldn't think that any places would be open at this hour in Spain, because everybody is a night owl here and you wouldn't think anybody would be up this early for breakfast.

More dunes shots.

This was probably one of the best photo days of the trip.

The only way this photo could've been more perfect would be for it to have a tiny bit more sky in the shot. A picture is worth a thousand words, right? This pretty much encapsulates how I feel when I travel - just me, wandering the world and discovering things about life, and about myself.

Sunset at the dunes - by now, it was getting cold.

I went for the 4 station pizza (ham, tuna, artichokes, mushrooms) - I really shouldn't have ordered it because when I questioned the waitress if it was Naples-style, she kind of said "Uh ... it's ... typical Italian style?" Definitely better than Pulcinella's pizza in Calgary (how that place can claim to make Naples-style pizza, I'll never know), but not great. The edges were a little bit burnt. Nothing special. I miss the pizza of Naples, but nothing else from that sh*thole (see Euro 2006 blog entitled "A masterpiece so beautiful it made me cry .... )!

A nice picture of the happy couple.

A nice picture of the happy couple, ruined by the appearance of a third wheel.

Dessert was a chocolate salami - basically a chocolate paste with crumbled biscuits embedded inside. Not too shabby!

Me, drunk on wine. This would become a common theme for the remainder of the trip.

Have you ever seen this before? A coin-operated TV!!! I guess we can't really complain because the condo was something like 35 Euros per night. But we are Asian, damnit!!! So we tried an old trick used in arcades - taping a coin to a string and trying to score some free credits. Didn't work.
