Cactus Garden and other sights.

Day 2 of Sightseeing and this was a fine sunny day so blue skies in all the images!

Today we visited the National Park of Timanfaya. We drove for a fair while inside the park through all the volcanic debris to an entrance where after paying the fee we were directed to a parking area. Since it was higher up I needed a woolly pulley. We were loaded onto a coach and given a guided tour of the exhibition area together with the relevant notes on eruptions etc.

Afterwards there were demonstrations of a burning bush, (is this what Moses did??) Then shown a hole in the wall which could be used as an oven—for ‘high’ settings, A grill which was used by the restaurant, and finally a geyser. In all well worth the visit. We then visited the National Park interpretive Center and learnt more about Volcanism in the Canaries

After lunch we continued via Teguise village to the Cactus Gardens. Another of Cesars Tourist attractions. His attention to detail with art in the loos and even cactus door handles to the coffee shop. Cacti images are on the windows live site.

I nearly forgot that we made a detour to see the Salt flats and Lago de los Clicos at El Golfo

On the way home we stopped by at the Campesino Monument and Maxmat for a new washing line and other boat bits.

  Then as we passed an Argentinean Restuarant decided to eat out. Wow fillet steak just like Buenos Aires!How good is that ? And now a nice sunset to end...
