hair cut and home

gastfreundschaft

zwei tage haben wir bei fabian, julia und diego verbracht und genossen einmalige gastfreundschaft. fabian hat uns den norden der insel gezeigt und wir durften typische kanarische kueche (garbanzas, escaladon, puchero) an orten (guachinches) geniessen, die wir nie im leben selbst gefunden haetten. ein schoener abschluss unserer reise.

El medano

From santa cruz de teneriffe we cycled three days to our final destination el medano, close to the airport of teneriffe south, from where we will take the plane back to germany on 14 march. Cycling was nice along the winding road at 500 m altitude along the south coast, but finding camp spots on the way was difficult. El medano is touristic, but the camping is decent and the beaches around are sandy and not too crowded. We relaxed for two days at the beach and today we climbed a small montain nearby. On the summit, we met our camping neighbours fabian, julia and their seven year old son diego and they spontaneously invited us to their house in tejina at the north of teneriffe. How amazing. 4 hours of driving including a glimpse on volcano teide (3700 m) and some beers and tortillas later we go to sleep in a totally unexpected environment and for the next day fabian has already thought of some culinary and visual sightseeing. we say thank you and are looking forward to the four remaining days on the canaries.

Teneriffe

After two excellent windsurfing days with my brother thomas in pozo izquierdo and bahia de formas, thomas and luisa had to leave, but gave us a lift before to 1200 m from where we continued our bike tour to the north of gran canaria. Feels like a big change after one week in the comfortable country house in temisas, especially for max who misses tommi and luisa a lot. After camping in the pine forest at 1600 m we drove all the way down to the ocean and took the ferry to teneriffe from aguate. In the capital santa cruz de teneriffe we were welcomed by techno music and thousands of dressed up people in carnaval mood. The hotel search turned into quite an adventure but we managed to find one in the end. Today we were exploring the town and we decided to like it and to get a hair cut.
