Gomera & Tenerife, 2003
|
A good way to feel young is to get on a charter plane to
Tenerife (at least when you're well unter 50). Once you had this
experience you can get off the plane in Tenerife and start enjoying
climate (yeah, well, not too bad) and nature. Spains highest peak is
waiting for you, a bunch of other nice walks and - eventually - some
days on the beach. When travelling further to Gomera, ferry (from Los
Christianos) or plane (from the northern airport) are the
options. Ferry tickets can be bought without problems on the spot (when
you don't have a car). A bus will bring you from the southern airport
to the ferry teminal sooner or later. Once you have a guide-book
including descriptions of the walks, you don't really need a map for
walking purposes (the small maps in the guide-book will be
sufficient). A road map for getting around with the car or getting
some kind of overview of the islands would be ok to have.
A rental car is also nice to have on both islands (it's not impossible
without), and a reservation for both rental car and
accomodation is clever. Then one can basically start off with a
light backpack, containing enough water for the day trip and probably
some rain clothes and sun blocker.
