FROM THE RAIN TO THE SUN.....

In the photograph you see the wet, cold Dutch AMSTERDAM SCHIPHOL AIRPORT with a plane waiting to take me from this grey and rainy country to the sunny and warm ISLA DE TENERIFE.

Tenerife is one of the Canary Island situated in the ATLANTIC Ocean some 1500 km. from the mainland of AFRICA.....

There are seven islands and here are their names:

Gran Canaria
Lanzarote
Tenerife
La Palma
El Hierro
Fuerteventura
La Gomera


They are Spanish from 1476 .

These Islands are famous (the old Greek came already to this place to enjoy the wonderful climate) for their fantastic weather conditions.

Without leaving the European Union I can enjoy an exotic, vulcanic, subtropical landscape with fabulous weather all year round. The climate is influenced by the golfstream EL GOLFO , the subtropical anticyclone and the mountains.
The average temperature is some 22 degrees Celsius, which is just great!

There are 7 Canary Island and TENERIFE is the middle one.

There is an impressive vulcano called EL TEIDE which has a height of 3718 metres and which place you can visit (as I did!) very recommended!!

There are some 120,000 beds waiting for tourists & travellers.......also most special and wonderful towns and villages......there are black but also white beaches the sand for which was brought in from the SAHARA!




This time I had booked a flight and hired a car and had mapped my route in advance, using VT tips, travelbooks and Library books......so I only had to look for a hotel at each place where I arrived in the late afternoon and it worked well!


FROM RAINY THE NETHERLANDS TO SUNNY TENERIFE..

It takes only some 5 hours by plane to reach Tenerife and yet the difference is INDESCRIBABLE.....

This Island is one huge monument of NATURE....

The National Park EL TEIDE (this vulcano is the highest of SPAIN'S mountains!) is such a special place amidst the volcanic landscape of LAS CANADAS.....

There are stretches of desert-like landscapes but also green, lush fields.....banana plantations and so much more......I am always impressed by palm trees!
