The grand final die TF-28
Day 5 - The last day has it all
Because of the challenging weather conditions on Gran Canaria we crossed the island in the morning on the fastest way
to wait in the warm sun for our ferry
the girls could choose fresh cakes
and Raymond went for some souvenirs
Tenerife surprised us with blue sky and sunshine
and we can enjoy the incredibly curvy TF-28
which leads us through the villages and landscapes of the south side
a last coffee stop in the Spanish street bar El Moral
a last look into the landscape
And then the week is unfortunately over again. But a joint final evening in our beautiful hotel makes it only half as hard.
Day 4 - Water and Canyons
Today we stay on Gran Canaria to take a closer look at the island, especially the bejindrukenden gorges in the southwest of the island because here also the sun shines
What a spectacular sight the eruption has created here
and what a spectacular road through this landscape

and a nice view of the countryside
