Is That An Osprey?
November 09, 2009

There are blue skies again this morning but cloud starts to build up and it gets muggy. Bookless, I divide my time between trying to beat my Android at draughts and watching a huge bird of prey circling over the nearest mountain. I wonder what it is, it's enormous. Might be an Osprey, as it had plenty of white on it and the six foot wing span would be about right. But the wings look wrong.

It must be mighty windy high up as the cloud is all blown away again in no time so we can get our last day of sunshine.

For our last dinner out we head back down to the Las Vistas beach to a bar/restaurant called Chill Out. It's a misnomer as the place is boiling and doesn't have much outside seating. We ahve very retro starters, prawn cocktail's and Serrano and melon. Followed by pork fillets and chickens satay skewers. It's all too big and we are too hot to really enjoy it, tasty though it is.

So we head off for a cab up what we assume is one flight of stairs. It turns out to be three, very long flights. And we are knackered after. It's far to warm for that sort of thing. Just time for a Canaries size measure of brandy or three before bed. then we'll try to get a couple of hours on the roof before we set off for the airport tomorrow, back to the cold.
