Lanzarote - Still being a tourist


Whilst mum and dad were still in Lanzarote we were still on the tourist trail, next stop Cueva de los Verdes  - the green caves although they are far from green and is actually a series of tunnels and caves produce from the lava flow when the volcano erupted which made them particularly interesting at they where not the usual caves formed by water.

We also visited Arrecife which is the capital of Lanzarote, it has a small pretty harbour along with a commercial dock in which there were 2 cruise ships on the day we visited.  The walk around the port is quite pretty and gave Mark & I the opportunity to check out the anchoring options although unlikely that we will ever pass this way again.

The next day we had a visit out to the Volcano visitor’s centre, just outside the Timanfaya national park which was full of information which would be useful to support the coach trip we had taken a few days earlier and the best bit was it was free!
