On Alert but Getting Our Bearings

Woke up this morning to the headlines that from today, Tenerife is on high alert waiting for the anticipated visit from Storm Therese. With recommendations from the authorities to stay indoors during periods of Strong Winds; 100 km/hour and Heavy Rain. But hey the sun is shining through small gaps in the clouds so this intrepid penguin 🐧 and his mate decided to venture out while the weather allowed. We walked 🚶‍♀️ first up the coast to Playa del Duque where we sat watching 👀 and listening to the waves crashing against the rocky shoreline whilst we bathed for a few minutes in glorious sunshine 🌞. Thinking here we are in the nice warm sun wearing tee-shirts and jeans 👖 let's go back to the hotel 🏨 and change into shorts. We arrived back just before the black clouds, so after some light refreshments we decided to venture out in the opposite direction towards Playa de Las Americas and the H10 hotel Conquistador where my mum loved to stay when she holidayed here in Tenerife. We thought it would be nice to visit and have a drink in its bar in memory of my mum ✋️ but the doorman wouldn't let us in as it is a hotel that only welcomes guests that are staying there!! So we walked across the road and went clothes shopping 🛍. Enjoying a nice leisurely stroll home when the rain started and we upped our pace so that when we reached the hotel 🏨 we weren't too drenched. After a little rest along with a coffee ☕️ etc we walked through 100 yards to the corner of the street to the Restaurant Hawai where we both settled for the Grilled fish; Salmon for Jayne and Sea Bass for me, both with vegetables and Canarian potatoes 🥔 😋.Read more
