The one bus a day into the Teide national Park has been cancelled today due to landslides and stones on the road - we hadn’t realised how severe the weather damage had been – beaches washed away, landslips, paths destroyed, esplanades damaged, but they are still running one bus to half way up the mountain at Vilaflor. So we got on, not daring to look back as we left Las Americas ( very thankfully ) behind in case we were turned to pillars of salt.
Today's very varied landscapes
We had a brilliant day's walking up to the lunar landscape rocks, saw the snow-covered top of Teide in the sunshine and on the way back the bus dropped us off in the neighbouring resort of Los Cristianos ( slightly better ) where we had dinner - thus putting off the time we had to spend in our hotel. We managed to be out from 7-30am till 9-30 pm. Thankfully the passports had arrived in the post during the day.
