As I actually enjoy writing about my travels in my letters, I guess there won't be too much text here - would be boring for my penpals who read my blog to have to read about it twice, wouldn't it? But maybe it would be fun to actually see the places I ramble on about in my letters? I hope so ;) Anyway, let's just say that my vacation was lovely and it was fun to discover another two Canary Islands, and I definitely want to go back to also discover those I haven't visited yet. It wasn't as relaxing as I had hoped for because of damn karaoke bars around the hotel and I didn't get as much sleep as I wanted, but I had some fun trips and saw a lot. And here come the pictures!
Let's start with La Gomera. A one day trip was too short do explore all of it, but it did provide me with some great views..
..and a walk through (small parts of) Garajonay National Park. I would have loved to spend more time there, it is so beautiful and peaceful!
Isn't it magical? |
Me from behind .. somehow those photos always turn out better ;P |
I also visited the very old and big dragon tree, located in Icod de los Vinos, that the locals seem to extremely proud of.
And of course I couldn't go to the Canaries without going on a boat trip! I was impressed by the giant cliffs of Los Gigantes..
..but even more so by the many dolphins and few pilot whales that I was able to spot from the boat. I go on such a trip during all my visits on the Canary Islands, but it fascinates me again every time to see those animals in their natural habitat.
