"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Fist dayWe decided to do the desert triangle on our first day on Tenerife. After a fire in 2007 fences have been brought up in the area around Fortaleza and you are not allowed to go everywhere. Discovered a new descent route through a gully in the west face. Good views of snow covered Teide.

Forteleza trail #1This was a nice short trail, good to warm up with after camping in the park the previous night (Oops! Did I say that?). Some decent views of the eastern coast, Sante Cruz, Canaleria and Guimar. Clouds seem to be a permanent fixture on this coast though. Saw no one all morning under blue skies.
