My bags are packed, it's time to go

My time here in Tenerife has drawn to an end, my bags are packed it's time to go.  An evening out with Jose-Luis,Teresa and Yaiza in Santa Cruz, a sad farewell to an island and friends I have come to love, then an early 'plane from Tenerife North to Madrid. British Airways will then fly me to Port Elizabeth, South Africa via London and Johannesburg. 36 hours in the air would take me to my next adventure at  onemaninsouthafrica.blogspot.com


Location: Tenerife Norte Airport, 38297 San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain
