La Palma continued...

After Jur and Rutger stowed 18 boxes of food, drinks and other stuff, we sang for Laurens :-)
In the mean time, Marc and I got the last things and had the meat frozen. That took a while to explain but with the help of a dictionary it all worked out.

After lunch we toured the Island a bit. It was a great trip all the way up to the top, Roque de los Muchachos., 2426 meters high and bloody cold, 5°C.
The road had the most hairpins I ever saw but the view was great... from time to time that is.
We drove through a pack of clouds too and then we could only see for 10 meters max.

Anyway, la Palma is for sure the most beautiful Island of the Canaries. Forests of pine trees palm trees and a lot other combined I never saw before. Also the rocks of granite and lava were astonishing.

After we came back and returned the car, we cleared the last few things, topped up the diesel and had a bite to eat.

And now we'll slip the lines and are heading for Tobago :-)
So the next updates will be with no pictures but as soon as we have a decent internet connection I'll add some …
