Today started with a visit to Loro Parque. Unfortunately, it wasn’t worth the money — very expensive, and there are nicer zoos even back home in Germany. I also deliberately skipped the shows; that’s a step too far for me.

I explored the old town and ended the day back at my hotel with a piña colada.Læs mere
