Thought I'd share a few snaps from my recent short break in Tenerife.......

 

Former coastal defence castillo, now converted to an art gallery.

Patchwork quilt covering this property, also saw some adorning palm trees in the square close by...

We stayed in Puerto de la Cruz in the north of the island and had a lovely time.

We didn't venture too far from the hotel, just the 10 min walk into Puerto de la Cruz, but there's plenty to see and do.

The weather in the north tends to be a bit more inclement - we had four days of sunshine out of six, but even when cloudy the temp was warm.

 

A few more snaps.......

 

These were just behind the castillo........

By the old harbour.......

Hi Francois,

Hows things with you ?

Speaking of Suzuki, am picking up a 3 yr old 1.6 petrol SX4 (20k on the clock) on saturday ....... - already have the 1.3ddis Swift (2008) which has proved a prudent purchase so hopefully we should have many miles of trouble free travel ahead .

That's what I'm afraid of. Remember last time I left the bike at the hotel and rented a car due to the never ending rain. :dopeslap:

We're fine, Steve..... just bike-less for the moment. And we moved to Italy to retire :-)

Hope to get another bike this year still....
