Exploring Lanzarote

Exploring the Lanzarote Island

Yesterday I had the pleasure to go with my friends Lasse's parents on a trip at the Island.

We went to an vulcano were they cook the meat on the top of a lava crater.

The nice restaurant was design by a local artist with name Cesar Manrique.

We also took a buss ride around in the fantastic landscape.

It really impressed me. The vulcano exploded in 1724, and kept trowing out lave for 6 years.

This have made some incredible shapes and colours.

Stick your hand out, and you really feel the heat.

Taken through a buss window, so not very sharp.

Also we went to the house of Cesar Manrique.
It was built on the top of a vulcano 'lave bubble' and into the inside of it.
It was a fantastic design. Check out the window to his back yard.
It looks like the lava is floating in through the window.
And there is a glass in it.

Well, back to the sailing.

I got mail from Per Olav today, and he confirmes that they will land at Las Palmas

November 5th. and leave again the 12th.

together with Synnøve Nina and Finn.

We will sail between the other island like La Gomera, La Palma, Tenneriffe and end up

at Lanzarote the day before my Atlantic crew start arriving Nov. 13th.

That means I have to sail down to Grand Canaria and find a marina or a bay to ancor.

It's about 120 miles, sow I will probably ancor somewere on the way.

But they will need to fly from here to Las Palmas to make the flight back.

It's about 6 flights aday, and they only cost about 34-39 euro.

Just looked at the forcast, and they don't promise any wind before the weekend.

So you will most likly hear from me again before I leave Puerto Calero.
