After another English breakfast (Ill be the size of a Playstation 3 when I get back) I decided that today I was going to go discover some of Las Americas and catch a glimpse of mount Teide if the sky was clear enough (a mountain hides it from view in Los Christianos).
Me, Dad and Chris left my Mom to fry on the beach and headed off a short while down the coast into Play De Las Americas. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would have been however it was very busy and still there were the annoying touts.
I had someone talking Russian to me because apparently I looked Russian : S
Once was had walked past the custom built beaches we found a little bench on the corner of the coast. The wind was stronger here but it was very warm and pleasant so we sat here for what seemed like ages watching the whale boats go in and out and looking at a box that had drifted onto the beach.
Looking down the coast you could see how elevated the land becomes as it raises quite steeply towards Teide, the views were really something.
Decided to take a picture of the waves crashing on the rocks, however it didn't happen much because the waves wern't always strong enough and also i had to time the delay on my camera exactly correct ! it took me ages to get this shot.
I have hundreds of photo's stored on my laptop. Im going to do a best of the best at the end of my Holiday to post on here. So Ive saved some really nice ones !
It took us about half an hour to walk back and we had some tapas in the bar above the ferry terminal. The woman couldn't speak english so I didn't know what it was that I had picked but after thinking it was chicken it turned out to be Rabbit stew - please don't hate me Meg !
It was really nice ! probably the niceset and most authentic Canary dish I had eaten so far.
We passed the harbour on the way back and I noticed the large group of people fishing who seemed to be there everyday at that one spot.
I went back down to the beach after looking in a few shops and had a dip in the water but it was freezing for how hot it was ! (33 Degrees) So I didn't last long and opted to lie down on one of the sunbeds instead.
Went back to the apartments and played some Final Fantasy IV. Met Yang the monk from Fabul.
To eat we went to one of the best conceptions ever created, the chinese all-you-can-eat buffet! It was called the many stars and It was pretty good. After this we mulled over going to see Scotch Eddie and Ged Bolton (Rod Stewart Impersenation) at the Cheers bar, but we decided that we didn't want our ears to bleed so we went to a karaoke bar instead - what were we thinking.
Went back a bit early on account of the Island tour we have to wake up at 7 o'clock in the morning for : /
