That's better

Road Trip Part 3.
Ok so now we're doing the north coast and the scenery is quite spectacular. Not sure if the photos do it justice.

salt pans

surf's up

you can see Tenerife from here

see the wind clouds? this is in the 'acceleration zone'

colourful harbour houses at Puerto de Las Nieves

100m high cliffs

the long and winding coast road

growing tomatoes under plastic

There's acres and acres of banana plantations in the north. The canary island bananas are smaller than the west indian varieties we usually see in supermarkets back home.
Under the plastic seen everywhere is the tomato crop. It's funny really cos the tomatoes in the shops here are pretty tasteless and expensive. Perhaps all the best ones are sent to Tesco?
