After a week or so of glorious weather there was some deterioration - including heavy cloud and a shower on Monday whilst we were at Oliva Beach. There followed days when the sun didn't burn through until the afternoon. This meant some impromptu long "bad weather lunches", which Mad Mik mentioned on Hot FM!On Thursday we decided to take this to extremes by getting up early and taking the two buses needed to reach Morro Jable on the Jandia Peninsula at the tail end of the island. Our last trip down there was in 1992 - owing to serious distances and a lack of interest in this (alleged) cultural desert.
The bus from Puerto del Rosario goes inland to serve some towns and villages and then follows the coast as the beaches get wider and the German influence builds, By Morro Jable the curry wurst count is very high! A mere three and a half hours after leaving the apartment we were there. Unfortunatel
y Ruth's jacket was not! It was on its way back on the returning bus!A
nyway - we managed to orientate ourselves in this rather strange town based on a fishing/ferry port in a ravine but spreading along the beach with huge notels, a lot of shops and German bars.
With indifferent weather we had a small fish lunch at the fishermen's co-operative; a walk over the headland and a short dip in the sea. The beaches down there are impressive! Then we came back!
Next day an email to Tiadhe resulted in the jacket being brought back on a bus for collection at our port. What service - and an expansion in Spanish vocab and grammar for Ruth (subjunctive needed!)!
