Wednesday.
|
Our feline friends were
there to greet us once again when we went to breakfast. |
|
|
 |
| |
Bruce walked down to the
clinic for his 3rd visit, leaving Geoff back at the villa.
There are a large number
of Irish bars here and this was one example.
|
|
|
| |
|
| |
In the afternoon, we
took a taxi to Puerto Calero. In theory it is possible to
walk there along the cliff-tops, but we didn't know whether
the path would be in good condition or exactly how long
it would take, so we opted for the 10 minute drive. |
|
|
| |
|

After exploring the
pleasant harbour front, we noticed that it was possible
to get a ferry back to Puerto del Carmen. The last ferry
of the day was due to leave about 30 minutes later so we
decided to catch it. |
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
From the boat, we got
some idea of what the walk might have been like if we had
walked back. From what we had read, it was about a 90 minute
walk and so it would have been possible, but actually we
enjoyed our boat ride. |

About 30 minutes after
leaving Puerto Calero, we arrived back at Puerto del Carmen
harbour. |
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
The harbour is in the old town of Puerto
del Carmen. Our villa in directly above the old town,
but the way up is unrelently steep. We contemplated trying
to find a taxi, but decided to walk instead. First, we
had a quick look at the church nearby.
Parroquia Nuestra Señora
de Lourdes.

Geoff made dinner at
the villa for us this evening. |

Thursday.
|
Another beautiful day.
The bougainvillea all around the complex were looking especially
lovely today. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Bruce made his last
visit to the clinic this morning. The dressing on his ear
was removed and he was signed off. To celebrate, we went
to the restaurant for a delicious lunch! We tried to be
restrained, because we had booked another restaurant this
evening. |
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
As the sun began to
set, we walked downhill into town. Some way beyond the clinic
was the restaurant we were aiming for, which had been recommended
to us by somebody we met on the plane coming over. We paused
several times to admire the beautiful scene. |

Sebastyan's Atlantico
Lounge - our restaurant for this evening. |
|
|
| |
The view from the restaurant
were stunning, but after having some superb meals since
our arrival, the food here (Greek style) failed to come
up to the same standard. It was good, but not quite as good
as we had hoped. |
