Hi, we have rented a car (Opel Astra 5doors, Diesel for 30EUR) and drove to the Timanfaya National parc. It is a volcanic parc where you have to leave your car at a certain place and you are only allowed to do guided tours from there. The landscape is really surrealistic. You think you are on the moon. What a contrast to Madeira but very nice. The volcanic parc is more than 170 square km while the proteced area around 50 square kilometer. You pay 8EUR per person to enter the parc and it is worth doing it. You then parc the car and might take a free bus tour (45 minutes) through the volcanic parc. It was just sad that you have to take pictures through the windows of the bus. At the central parking place there is also a restaurant. They grill chicken over a natural volcanic opening. The park rangers also pour water into openings and show the geysir effect. In other holes they throw a dry bush and you see it ignite and burning. It is impressive that after the eruptions in 1870 and the com...

Lani will help you! Well, the sugar will be everywhere but some might also land in your coffee. Maybe together with the paper bag and maybe your coffee will then land on the floor or your legs. But i promise you will have some sugar at least near to your coffee and Lani lots of fun!

When ever possible we try to eat outside. This can be be for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Usually lunch is a light meal like tomatos or leftovers from the previous day while we are really breakfast fans. Currently our oven is not really making us happy since the gasflame often just goes out and we have not found the root cause. Maybe it is the bimetal security mechanism. I need to explore that in the next days, weeks or months :-) Yes you guessed right, it is number 239587 on the to do list!

When they allocated a space in the Marina yesterday they either got our measurements wrong or they thought i am not able to dock the boat in. Check out this picture!

It is raining cats and dogs here. Lanzarote is in sight. It is the island of the Canaries with the least rain. Well most likely not today :-) Or did our Indian colleagues send the monsoon over to Spain? Wind was coming from the south east, where we are heading to with up to 20 knots. This slowed us down to 4 knots. Now the wind has turned and is coming from N-NE but only with 8 knots. The sea is rough because the wind sea is coming from another direction than the Atlantic swell adding up to a strange pattern. A fish bit on the lure again and reeled of probably 50m and then spit it out again. So no Sushi today.

We had an unreal sunset with strange colors.

Today a fish grabbed my lure and i reeled in. We then slowed down the boat and that must have given him the chance to spit out the hook. It was a triple hook and i heard that the twin hooks are much better so i might convert that lure as soon as i get twinhooks. I was trying to by them in Canical Madeira but the shop did not have them. So lets wait until Lanzarote.... Tomorrow i will catch one for sure.... damned the one i lost looked nice it might have been a Makarel or Small Tuna, maybe around 40-50cm.
