A TRIP TO TENERIFE - 04

Subject: WE MADE IT!
Date: 4th February 2006 9:20:53 pm

We've checked into our room. We are staying at the Hotel Casa Blanca. Below are a picture of my Dad and I in front of the resort entrance.

The hotel has a website: www.apartamentoscasablance.com

Here is link to a page from their brochure showing various pictures from the resort.

And I've stitched together 5 pictures to give you a panaramic picture of the view from our balcony. (We would spend many happy hours just sitting on this balcony reading and enjoying the view. However, I note that our balcony faced north; we would have had much more sun had our balcony faced south.)

Since we've been up for over 32 hours, I think we'll sleep good tonight, and jet lag should not be an issue.

Fun fact: I am watching "Duetchland Superstar," the German version of American Idol. Great, now I can watch people sing bad in another language!

I had my girlfriend e-mail me the latest weather forcast for Tenerife.

Here is your local 10 day forcast:

Not what we were hoping for, but we'll make the best of it.

Here is a map of Puerto de La Cruz, showing the location of the fabulous, beautiful bay filled with lava rocks that so captured my imagination (photos to come) and the location up the hillside of our hotel:
