We left the North of Tenerife [http://etenerifeholidays.co.uk/tenerife-island/north-tenerife] to travel south. The bus had to come down a very windey road from the mountains. We were nearly sick! It was like being on a ride at Alton Towers for hour and a half in hot temperatures.
La Laguna
Spent two days in La Laguna [http://etenerifeholidays.co.uk/tenerife-island/towns-villages/la-laguna], typical Spanish town. Tourism is not encouraged, so we had to speak Spanish. La Laguna is an old town in the Mountains. Sunny during the day, very chilly at night. I did not bring too many warm

Puerto de la Cruz
This evening we walked up the other side of Puerto de la Cruz [http://etenerifeholidays.co.uk/resorts/puerto-de-la-cruz] to a view point, where you can look across the whole town for miles. Nice bar up there overlooking the sea. I was just enjoying the view, and a glass of
