Tenerife, Spain, Part Three

My friend Kylie and I rented a caar and explored the island. This is toward the south of the island, Masca. After not being behind the wheel of a car for a almost 3 months, I was tickled by driving on the tight curvy mountain roads. The navigator/passenger only sighed when the obligatory ABS brake system check was preformed (warning was given). Sometime around then, I learned from Kylie that in New Zealand (and Australia) they have interesting potatoe chip flavors. One being roasted lamb with mint sauce. They also have other meat flavors including chicken. Yes, a funny bunch indeed.

On another note Kiwi fruit is growing on me. It's not as horrible as I thought it was. But I'll leave eating the fury skin to the experts.

Downtown Masca, with it's small shops and quaint cafes.

The lizards are tame, but large in Tenerife.

The peak in these two pictures is Teide. It is the tallest peak, volcano, on the island. It stands at 3,718 metres (12,198 ft) above sea level. The next post will cover the adventure climb up Teide.
