Update - especially for Dad

We've moved over to the other side of the marina today. Don't know why we got stuck out on our own originally....must have been no space on the visitors pontoons. Anyway, this is far more sociable :) and we don't get the traffic noise over here either. (My abiding memories of Las Palmas are going to be traffic and dog poo!)

Mike shows how it's done

Over the last week or so we have been getting around on the buses, or gua guas as they call them here (pronounced wah-wah). But we made the terrible mistake of getting the bus down to the south of the island. We caught the wrong one (the slow one instead of the express) and it took about three hours!! When we finally got there we had a ten minute walk around and it was time to go back....

Las Palmas Theatre
Las Canteras Beach

There are two beaches in Las Palmas city. The one by the marina and anchorage is Las Caravaneros and the one over the other side is Las Canteras which is 3.5 km long and protected by a stone reef which means the water is crystal clear. Mike loves the beach and is thinking of getting a body board to do a bit of surfing on the reef break.

note the temperature!

The big news is I am going home for a couple of weeks. Very excited!! Would be even more excited if Mike were to sail the boat over to the caribbean whilst I'm gone ha ha (hint, hint)

sounds dodgy....

I'm saying nothing!!!
