Gran Canaria




We decide not to stop of at Las Palmas on our way to La Gomera as we have heard from so many people that it was a dive and the water water disgusting. We stop off on the north west of the island in a place called Puerto de las Nieves for a few days.

Well after being in Lanzarote for a month ( which is totally commercialsed ) it was so good to come somewhere quiet and beautiful. Unlike Lanzarote which was Baron, the island was lush and green and the anchorage was really nice. We went diving on the first day and there were loads and loads of wicked fish and the water was so clear. We went on ( what was planned a little walk ) and ended up on a few hour hike in between the valleys. The walk up hill took about two hours, but was probably one of the nicest walks we have ever been on, the scenery was to die for, ramblers would love it!! Anyway we found a secret way down, which got a bit hairy and low and behold it took about three minutes, how can that be possible ?

We decide to head off on the evening of Day Two and do a night sail so we can arrive in La Gomera first thing in the morning.
