Since not all of life revolves around the Carnival, even if one comes from the Rhineland, We wanted to see us today in the north of the island, the almond blossom.

Due to the harsh weather another dive was not in question. Still a strong wind and high waves made a safe trip to the underwater world impossible. Very sad, since the first course dives were planned and there was a lot to learn new.

So we wound our nearly five hours along the northwest coast on small winding roads through the mountains. The blossoming almond trees smelled very strongly of honey and every photo stop was also a real treat for the nose. Just in time for radio round to 14:30 but we were back on the SUMMER, because the weather forecast to our friends at sea so would not convey by themselves. To support good friends on your voyages, Dietmar is very important.

After the trip to the enchanting nature stood as a contrast by five clock "Corso de Carnival" in Los Llanos. Since in the Canaries is rather cozy and equipped by all fixed dates are usually rather viewed as a rough guide, we went just before five on the way. After a lengthy car park we came quarter past five in place to, where the train should start. As already suggested, but was still nothing happened. 🙂 So konnten wir noch in Ruhe einen Platz in der ersten Reihe suchen, which gave us the best view on the way, the'd take the train.

More than an hour lasted the Corso, where we met again next several great samba music groups, the Samba dance groups from last week.

For me, the children's carnival queen were, the adult carnival queen and all non crowned contenders the real highlights of the event.

The imaginative costumes, who wore the ladies, were significantly longer than two meters wide, low and high. So the ladies can even move so, the costume is built on a base with castors. To march such a long way with the heavy costumes is impossible with the best will. As always, the four beauties were loaded together on the back of a large lorries. So they stay up and can not fall they had fixed easily on all sides with sturdy wire on the truck :-)!
