Back to Cold Germany
Computer Chaos So after the Goodbye Dinner and a very short night my alarm started to ring at 5:00 a.m. I didn't want to get up yet, but the excitment helped me a lot to get up. It was the day of my departure and in the evening, in only 12 or 13 hours I would be in...

Places to see in Tenerife
Volcano Teide The most important place to see in Tenerife is probably the volcano. It’s the highlight in the middle of the island with more than 3700 metres height, surrounded by the large National Park that starts at about 2000 metres and ends at a height of 3000...

Goodbye, Tenerife!
Saying Goodbye to the Sea The next day I wanted to relax a bit (well, I know - I had done that the days before, too) and enjoy my holidays at the pool, but I also wanted to get down into the city centre next to the sea one last time in order to "say goodbye" to...

Carnaval Parade in Puerto de la Cruz
Getting to know the new Interns For the next day I hadn't made any plans yet, but as I only had three days left on the island I was sure that there would be something going on. I started the day quite relaxed, as always, and stayed in bed watching TV as long as possible...

The last 5 days in Tenerife - Part 4: Carnaval Parade
Never ending parade But after a while it became quite exhausting to be there at the side of the road, watching the dancing and singing participants and seeing the same thing all the time. Of course, the costumes differ a bit and the themes of the large carts, too, but...

The Large Carnaval Parade of Santa Cruz So finally we had been able to get to the main street in order to see the large Carnaval Parade, but as we had missed about 1 or 1, 5 hours already, all the spectacular and famous things had already passed by. We were disappointed...

The last 5 days in Tenerife - Part 2
Relaxation again It was Saturday and I had decided to stay in bed a bit longer, so I just got up to put the "Do not disturb" sign at my front door in order to avoid that the cleaning lady drops in. As I was used to getting up at around 8 or 9 am, I couldn't sleep any...

Relaxing Day The next morning I woke up quite early another time. But this time I was totally free - I stayed in bed and watched some episodes of my favorite series at TV, I didn't have a breakfast appointment or anything similar and it felt great. There were only two...

Loro Parque and Playa de las Teresitas
Nice Time at Loro Parque The next day we met for breakfast in the lobby again and enjoyed the first meal of the day. It was the same buffet as the day before, but I liked it and it was more than sufficient for starting a day off. My Vietnamese friend supplied me with...

The Last "Working Weekend" Part 2
My first hiking experience Sunday after our shopping trip it was time for my first hiking experience. Even if the girls had told us that it would be a short and simple hike I was a bit excited, because I am sporty but not incredibly fit. After my semester in France I...
