1st Aug, the last day before heading home.
We woke up late In the morning decided to go for snokling in Playa de Abades-one of the best places for snokling in North East Tenerife. However the GPS guided us to Fara Punt de Rasco, the place we planned to visit on south east coste of Tenerife. But the roads were blocked by banana farm gate, so we decided to go to Abades as we planned initially. It only took us 30 min drive along the highway TF1 toward North.
There were few snoklers already in the right side of the beach, so it was not difficult to guess where to dive in and snokling. The weather was windy and a bit cloudy without sunshine. It felt a bit cold when we first got into the sea. There was a wall which submerged into the sea, we walk slowly alone the wall to get deep into snokling area. Immediately we noticed many fishes were eating s skin of orange(or melone) sunk in the sea bed. When we got deep in area filled with white marble stones we saw many more fishes are wondering around with the wave. A group of 50 white fishes were eating the plant growing on the wall and stones. There were large fishes crushing passed us without fear us. I guess these fishes were already uses to see the big creature with two hands and two legs visiting them ofyen without any harm. We spend one hour snokling there, it was amazing!
After lunch, we decided to revisit Fara Punt de Rasco. least lesson from the morning (road blockages). We decided to stop a bit further from the visit site and walk to it by foot. As someone commented that the hiking in the area was also amazing. We stop the car on the edge of the village and walked along the coast. The cost was formed by black stone, it must be formed by volcano lava in the past. The land was dry and few cactus growing on the edge of footpath, we took few pictures of green captured with background of black rock and vast blue sea. As we walked along the coastline, the wind from Atlanta caused big waves, it crushed on the black rock with a big bumper and splashed with white foames, it was amazing to watch! After about 30 min walk, Leon was tired and we stopped in a small rock pool. Surpriely we found fishes in the pool. I changes my swimming suit and had a swimming with fishes while Leon walked in with his short on. It seemed the fishes were scared of people when people approaching them from the land, while are easy with big guys approaching?g them in the water, maybe they thinking they were belongs to same species-both can swimming but people wearing reading glasses (poor guys with poor sight), and can not hold their breath long (poor guys with short breath). Anyhow the fishes were used to be companied by me, and they even swimming around me and passed by my body.
With such close encounte in such small space(pool), I noticed that the black/purple fishes were more dominant (in particularly big one). They chased a group of white/grey fishes around. The green sea sardine were bystand watching on motionlessly.

it was close to 7:00 pm, so we decided not to continue hiking and headed home. After dinner, I suggested to have a small walk around the area as this will be the last night we stay. Leon agreed even he already had 10000 steps in his smart ring. We heading to the nearest beach south of Palia don Pedro. We walked toward to east this time (had a tour towards east the other day). The night getting darker, not much can be seen, rather than hearing waves after waves rushed on to the shores. While we walking, we noticed the dimy moon hanged in the middle of the air from the east, the sky was not brighted with such fading moon light. There were still couples sitting on the edge of the cliff enjoying such peaceful night.
We returned home at about 10:00pm, attracted my the music and applause from the audience. It was indeed a Spanish dance performed by two male dances one younger and slimmer wearing black dotted white shirt, another older wearing white dotted black shirt, black trousers and high heels shooes. The shoes hit on the wood floor with big pun pun pun rythem with Latin music. I never watched Spanish dancing on stages. The dance was powerfull with full of energy. It was also infectious as the audience clapped their hand when the dances were performing.
We went to bed with all these great memory of last day in Tenerife.Leer más
