Lanzarote

Lanzarote, very different from other Canary Islands, is best characterized just as Volcanos and Caesar Manrique. Nothing but the two seemed to have had more influence on the appearance of the island, with its minimalistic beauty. For us it was the third visit to this island and we keep finding new stunning places every time. This time we spent two days exploring the island together with our friends. And while less sunny in the volcano area, we had the pleasure to have e decent view from Manriques outlook over the 'Rio', the canal that separates Lanzarote from Graciosa. Last time we tried to go there, it was all fogged in. So, both the outlook and the Manriques Cactus-garden were new to us. And of course, both are magnificent. His house near Arrecife, built into lava-tubes, we had already seen, but it is always worth seeing again and again.

Two days ago, Endelig left for Fuerteventura an island we have yet to se ourselves, but it will have to wait for another Taniwani roundtrip, as we are still stuck at Puerto Calero, waiting to get our boom repaired. Remounting it is now planned for Sunday, but who knows… In any case we will then sail through over night to Tenerife to catch up with Endelig there.

by the way, clicking on a picture makes it bigger and you can then flip through the set.
