The usual breakfast and we collected the car from the garage and headed North with a plan to visit the historic town of Tegusia but en route our road was blocked by a police car as it appears there may have been a parade in one of the small towns were were passing through, we cold not tell whether it was part of the Carnival or even a funeral. We changed our route and this time on the road we discovered that this little Seat car has android auto and so we could use the main screen to display the route rather that Jennifer holding the mobile in her hand .
As we arrived on the outskirts of Tegusia there were ars everywhere and lots of impromptu car parks and there was a large Sunday Market underway and again our intended route was stopped and we are not great with markets we took a right turn and followed to see where it led but clearly after a while it became clear we were heading North again until we reached Orzola the most northern city where you catch a ferry to a small offshore Island nearby but the locals were charging for public car parks , crooks so we carried on.
The road from Orzola took us over the hills with winding roads and with bloody cyclists everywhere in two’s and three’s across the road and one person on a bike indicated right for a road 20 yards ahead than unexpectedly pulled out in the the centre of the road to turn , quite dangerous really.

The road was quite interesting with houses made of the black volcanic rock and many little walls to protect trees which must have taken ages to build but perhaps by people long dead and forgotten but an interesting drive. We realised that perhaps Sunday was not the best day of the week to do our sightseeing and so we headed back to Puerto Del Carmen and found the LIDL store where stocked up with food for the evening. We really dont like eating out every night, apart from the expense you perhaps end up eating to much and so with the car loaded with baguette, smoked salmon, cheese and many other goodies we headed back to the Hotel which we reached at about 2.pm , 3 hours sitting in the car with a seat that does not move is enough.
With Noels laptop having a VPN connection we connected to our Virgin Connection and Noel was able to see the end of the Tottenham vs Chelsea game when again these expensive superstars lost, we need to have a change of management as its not working at the moment. Later in the evening we spoke to our son and family whilst Noel was watching the EPL Cup with Manchester United beating Newcastle, shame Newcastle could not win but Man U too good for them.
So in the evening we had our dinner in the room and followed up with TV before retiring to bed
