Gran Canaria Yoga with breaking waves 13 January 2011

13 January woke to beautiful sunny day so decided to do some more exploring. took the 41 bus to Las Coloradas, a small town on the La Isleta peninsular which forms a natural protection for Las Palmas harbour. Had intended making a circumnavigation of the peninsular but found our way quickly blocked by rusting barbed wire with notices telling us this was a military area - keep out!
So made our way down a loose rocky path to the rugged lava coastline where the waves were breaking magnificently over the rocks. Decided this was a great picnic spot and Jeannette could not resist a yoga session with the crashing breaking waves in the background.

After some more scrambling across the lava, we reached the Bahia del Confital, a favourite place for surfers when the tide is right.

A newly constructed walkway led past the nudist areas via Los Caletones to the popular golden sand Playa de Las Canteras. Here the electronic Thermometer readout showed a comfortable 27 degrees C - not bad for mid January!

Bahamas George Town 17 March 2010

The last few days we have been dinghying over to the Stocking Island side of the harbour where we have been enjoying long walks over the island and along the superb coral sand beaches.










In parts there are dunes which reminded us very much of the Dutch Wadden Island of Vlieland (but maybe the sea is a bit bluer?).









Many yachties are to be found on volleyball Beach where many activities are held daily.














J is very happy to find there is an early morning Yoga session on the beach most mornings
