Saturday - checked out of our hostel, moved into our hotel, ate breakfast in town, then walked to the bus stop and waited for the bus to Buenavista, and waited............. and waited. Finally arrived in Buenavista where they were preparing for some sort of carnival, the town was festooned in ribbons and huge palm leaves were tied to all the lampposts.
Walked all through town looking for accommodation but there was only a big golf hotel undergoing a complete refurb - shut for the duration - and we were duly ushered off the premises by a security guard (not the first time that's happened to the Coxes)
Our walk started about 15 minutes out of town, a steep path snaking up a dry gully. Mid-afternoon I called a halt as it was obvious we were going to run out of time, not to mention steam, before reaching the Teno plateau still way above us.

Walked all the way back through town again and waited for another bus back to Garachico. Ho hum
