Gran Canaria – Telde

We’ve arrived and are settled in our new home for the next month. Gran Canaria is certainly very different from sophisticated Croatia, but as Rachel keeps telling me, don’t judge, just enjoy! The apartment doesn’t have the incredible harbour view, but it does have a nice chilled vibe going on, our host has decorated the place with Buddhist statues, carving and photos, together with other interesting nic-naks scattered around the place. The sun rises at around 7:30am & sets just after 6pm, interestingly there’s no nonsense around changing the clock, so the days seem longer. We were pretty tired from the flights, so although we’ve taken a few walks along the dramatic coastline, with the combination of the dark volcanic rock set against unpredictable Atlantic, really do make for some very compelling viewing. We went for a swim earlier, which will definitely be a challenge going forward, but a good one. This coming week I’ll be sorting out a car, heading into town to the organic shop and I might even get a haircut….then again I might not.😉
