21st Centuary here she comes

 


At last I have got Carol (link to her blog) to try her hand at blogging as she has been thinking about it for a long time now.
We have just spent a lovely two weeks holiday with them here in the beautiful island of Tenerife. Like last year we were out every day feeling very adventurous. This year we used the Titsa bus, a very useful way to get about the island just get yourself a Bono bus ticket and off you go. However we did invest in a couple of boat trips out to see the Dolphins and the Pilot Whales. The first boat trip was for Carol, her husband Jim and myself, the next trip was on a Pirate ship called the Peter Pan 1. This trip was for the princess and the wild child. Both these trips were fantastic of course the highlight on each was seeing the Dolphins and Whales. The trip to end all trips was a trip to La Gomera . What an experience that was.. the scenery was out of this world .
Included in the trip was the ferry over then a bus trip round the island with six stops our lunch and the ferry back to Tenerife . The bus that picked us up at 7:30 in the morning dropped us at the pick-up point at 7 :00 pm at the end of the trip. That was the best trip of our holiday.

No Beading just Whales & Dolphins


Yesterday, Sunday my D.D. and I took the Wild Child on a trip to see the whales and dolphins. It was wonderful .. The boat took us away out for what seemed a long way, when suddenly there they were!. Five dolphins tumbling towards us. It did not take too much imagination for me to think it was a whole family showing off just for us on the glass bottomed catamaran. I for one felt so honored to be treated to their show.
We were then told we could go below and watch the show from below the water line. The Wild Child was over the moon with excitement. I gave him the camera and away he went snapping shots of the fantastic dolphins. He let out a gasp here was some very large fish just hanging in the water. They were pilot whales, away he went again snapping more pictures of these lovely creatures. Eventually we went back up top to watch the show again.
What a wonderful day .
I do love this lovely island Tenerife
