Me on Monday in Tenerife

waving to you all while on holiday.  You will have to take my word for it as I can't load the photo of me with palm trees, nor the one taken from a sun lounger, nor the view down the hill to the sea taken from my balcony.

It was a weekend of lots of walking.  Along the waterfront on Saturday, watching surfers and swimmers and other strollers.  And looking in shop windows wondering who buys thise souvenirs. And sampling yummy cake - an advantage of the dominance of German tourists.

Sunday was a day of walking again but around a parrot park / zoo and dodging rain showers by taking advantage of the aquariums.  I was suprised by the herd of anteaters - they are big, like a red setter with a long nose.  Lots of colourful birds too and they were noisy, perhaps grumbling about the rain.

Enjoying walking aroundin a tshirt and shorts, even if I needed my rain cape on Sunday.  Overcast but still around 20C forecast for the rest of the week.  Could be a shock getting of the plane to 5C.

Hope you all have a good week

Sounds like you are having a wonderful time. I'm not jealous or anything...

Actually, I'm going to completely own up and say I am jealous. It sounds lovely. Plus, I've never seen an anteater and I've always wondered what they look like in real life having read a picture book about one when I was little.

Enjoy the rest of your holiday and fingers crossed the pictures will work when you come back

I'm jealous too ... there was frost on the car windscreen this morning! Look forward to seeing your photos when you return home. Hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday.

I bet there are all kinds of Pairs being captured. Hope the rest of the holiday is wonderful.

I'm not one for hot foreign holidays but I definitely wish I was there! I'm with Sian on the anteater front - would love to see one, hope you have some photos to share when you get back. Enjoy the rest of your holiday!

Sounds delightful! We had our first snow here last night. Sad to say, I had to look up Tenerife on google maps to know where you were.

Sounds like a good place to be - in the sunshine and wearing shorts. Have a great time.
