Just taking the goats for a walk dear! May 30, 2007
Posted by cbs in : General , add a commentOpposite where we live is a small patch of scrub land while it is fairly common to see locals walking their dogs on it, this is the first time I’ve seen anyone taking their goats there! but it does keep the vegetation down.

Looking Cool March 16, 2007
Posted by CBS in : General , add a commentWe always have boat cover when people are diving. Doing boat cover can be a great way to soak up a bit of sun enjoy the scenery while keeping a eye out for the divers. Having said that I don’t look this cool
 
Getting away from it all take a drive up Teide. February 7, 2007
Posted by CBS in : General , 1 comment so farThe problem about running a dive centre is that you rarely get the chance to go up Teide..It’s a treat when you do …and a great chance to get away from the masses for three to four hours. We like to head up through the village of Vilaflor and the enormous pine tress in the national park at about 1500m.

Heading up to the mountain crater is look down onto the coast or across to La Gomera in the distance. Working your way up you come to the main crater of mount Teide at about 2200M. The lava beds look like ploughed fields at a distance, up close you see just how big the furrows are!
I like to head east following the road past the Parador (hotel) near the base of Teide through great cuts in the rock some coloured green due the copper content. Teide has a dusting of snow on the south side following the couple of days of rain we recently had. Stopping at one of the restaurants for a coffee and bowl of thick soup you realise how cold it is in the shade. In the sunshine you may only need a tee shirt but you legs under the table are cold. Carry on heading north and you come to the observatories. The snow here is thicker and more visible with Spanish children and parents enjoying snowball fights.
. 
. 
Carry on heading north towards Santa Cruz and you start to descend the snow quickly disappears but is replaced by what looks like fog swirling across the road as you drop down through the cloud cover and back into forest. On with the headlights
