Tenerife South - Motorbike trip

I have been occupied by designing my survey and sending it. Now I am trying to start my own website for Mongolians and all others who are interested in Mongolian culture and language (www.bornaa.net). The main reason is that my friends and families can not read this blog, because in China, blogger, youtube, facebook ... can be not even opened:(. So I can not share my life with them, as well as many other Mongolians who want to know the outside world, this is at least I can do. That's why I start my own website, hopefully it will be going well. 


Ok, let's go back to our trip in Tenerife in March. :) There are a lot to share... We rented a motorbike for one day, 40 euro. We started our adventure and it was one indeed. But I am not sure if I want to do it again. Sometimes I am not brave enough, but I am proud of myself snowboarding since last year. Life is full of conflict feelings...

This is our super bike! The white helmet was mine:)

This place is Teide, the peak is in the right corner, can not you see? :)

 We had a coffee in this house. Now you see the peak in snow. 

Pico del Teide (in Spanish), is the highest elevation in Spain and the islands of the Atlantic (it is the third largest volcano in the world from its base). It is an active volcano which last erupted in 1909 from the El Chinyero vent on the Santiago (northwestern) rift and is located right here. - a bit from Wiki. Luckily not too active as in Island...

       We rode through the clouds and the national park, was beautiful indeed. Above the clouds...

Tenerife South - day 2

First two days were rather grey, but still very warm. I can tolerate cold but not hot. We did not do anything but walking around, that is what holiday do, right? Do nothing! Eat, drink, walk... Especially this kind of beach resort, not so many ancient streets and architectures to explore. But we are not beach people, so did not do sunbathing disappointingly :)

A strange rusted metal stuff over there, go and see:) 

A surfer dude is waiting for waves... waiting... 

Some surfer dudes are coming back, not the best place to surf I suppose.

Sorry for the grey sky. Later 4 days are full of sunshine, wait for it.

I think I can photoshop the sky into blue, but no time for that.

Tenerife South Trip - Day 1

From 17. March - 4. April, we have been on the trip to Spain. It was a fabulous holiday except strong wind and constant rain in the northern Spain, and the cold we caught when we got home. What a prize from a holiday:(! 
On the way to Tampere airport, was a beautiful morning!

Falling in snow is a big fun.

It was not that cold:)

This is a general map about our trip followed by spectacular photos through my new Pentax K-X camera. I can not wait to share it with the world...

I am not a good illustrator as you can see. But the main route is like this: 

Going (purple): Tampere (Finland) - Frankfurt (Germany) - Tenerife South (Spain)
Return (blue): Tenerife South (Spain) - Madrid (where is it?) - Santander (Spain) - Santiago de Compostela (Still Spain)- Frankfurt - Tampere

All flights by Ryanair, we were super lucky to be supported by his parents until Madrid including accommodation, very grateful indeed. For the return flights from Madrid all the back, for two persons' tickets cost me 260 Euro, decent! We love Ryanair, without it we can not make such trips to everywhere. I will count one day how many flights I have taken from Ryanair.

We had to stay in Frankfurt to catch the next day flight, even though still cheaper than other direct flights:) We arrived in Club Atlantis and had a nice dinner in hotel. It is an apartment hotel with two swimming pools in the inner yard. Very quiet and beautiful place!

 We had our arrival dinner by these pools. I liked it a lot!

After a lazy morning, we walked out...

A gloomy day but warm enough to force us to go back to room after 2.5h walk. It was too hot already, intolerable, we are so "northern". I can easily tolerate -15°C, but +25°C:)
