Tenerife and hiking up mount El Teide, starting with visiting La Gomera


All kinds of orchids
Dolphin show
I made this picture with the lady so you could see how big the orca was
These orca's look like rubber toys, but big ones!
Can you see the green/beige sea horse?
Lowa Vivione : my new hiking shoes before I went up El Teide
The hiking route from 2.399m on
The lava bombs thrown down by the vulcano magna
Arriving at the mountain refuge
With my walking sticks on the left, stopping here for lunch
The Mountain Refuge down on the left
Having fun speaking German, Flemish, English, French, Spanish, with the people coming down
The top of the Teide above me, not yet been there
This was the part where there were the most people coming down and going up
You can see the sulphur coming out of the rocks here
Clouds coming up in the back

Hé Cherian, thank you for your positive comment but these were just the first pictures of my first excursion in Tenerife, a whole day to the isle of La Gomera by boat and then travelling around the island of La Gomera there. You see the isle of Tenerife from La Gomera which indeed is very beautiful is it not? You can also see that there were a lot of fires and loads of trees were burned down, you could still smell it too. I hope to have the time today to put the other pictures of my actual climbing of the vulcano; the only thing of the climbing you see here is my new hiking shoes! Have a great day Cherian!
