Christmas Celebrations
The next day it was time for presents. Because my Mum and my Dad aren't living together I had to get up early to have lunch with my Mum and go to my Dad afterwards. Fortunately they are living in the same village. So I got up and had a short breakfast with my Mum - I...

Noches en blanco
In November it was the time of the “Noches en blanco” – events where the whole city is celebrating the whole night with concerts, markets and workshops. It’s not only something existing in Spain, I also know it from France as “Nuit blanche”, but the one in...

Perfect Day
So the next day we had to go to the travel agency and get the car at 9:30am but we didn't really want to get up that early. We stayed in bed a bit longer, had breakfast and finally I was too German to wait longer and forced my boyfriend to get up. We left the appartment...

Time's running out..
As already assumed, the next morning it was raining. We were both still tired from the trip the day before, so we stayed in bed a little longer. Even if my boyfriend really wanted to get up into the mountains I told him that it would not make any sense with that bad...

The last day
And then it was there - the last day. We slept quite long and enjoyed staying in bed together almost the whole morning. But finally we had to get up because we wanted to have some breakfast and we had to bring back the keys of the car before 12. So we had a short...

Alone in Paradise again
I went to the bus station outside the airport and everything I felt was just incredible sadness. I know, it sounds exaggerated and as I would love to dramatize, but it was really hard for me to let him go without knowing when I would see him again. I had bought flight...

Daily Life comes Back
Actually, I was quite happy that work started again and I wouldn't have so much time to sit in my appartment or walk around the beach and think about how much I missed my boyfriend already, even if he wasn't away for longer than 2 days at that moment. But something...

Two Attempts for Paragliding
After my diving experience I started to forget a bit about how much I was missing my boyfriend. But, of course, I missed him so much and I really wanted him to be back. But as I couldn't change anything about that I focused on the things I could change. I tried to do...

Paragliding - Flying above the Island
Even if we were ready for take-off, we still had to wait for the wind. At almost 3000 metres it was changing almost every 5 minutes and for the departure we needed wind from a certain direction - towards us. While we were waiting, completely ready for departure, I...

Christmas Shopping
The following weeks were the hardest week of my stay in Tenerife. Because of the happenings in Paris in November and my boyfriend who told me that he will probably not be in Paris during New Year I had booked a flight to Germany for Christmas. It was a pity, because I...

Appartment Search
So we arrived at the real estate agency and the lady there explained to me that the owner of my appartment had another appartment in Puerto which is almost at the same place as the old one. She gave us the keys and told where we had to go, she couldn't come with us...

Where are ll the Christmas Markets?
As we had not had so much success in La Laguna with looking for Christmas presents, the other intern and I wanted to see if Tenerife has to offer some nice Christmas Markets. We asked some colleagues where to go and one told us that there was a market in Santa Cruz in...

Christmas Lunchtime
The more I was looking forward to Christmas, the more boring work became. It was horrific! At the end of November everybody had told us that December would be the most stressful month, as we would only work until the 23rd. So we had already done a lot of work before the...

Birthday Craziness
As already mentioned in the post before, the 20th of December was another girl's birthday. As activities were one of the most important things for her, she had planned a lot of things just to celebrate her special day. In the beginning she only wanted to go to a...

Christmas at the Beach
After the crazy birthday party on Saturday I was happy that there was a relaxing Sunday waiting for me. I slept in, had breakfast in my bed and watched some crapy TV series about renovating houses, buying houses, mariages and wedding dresses. In Spanish TV you will...

Flying home for Christmas
The next day it was finally the 25th of December! As it was a national holiday buses were driving like on Sundays - something quite annoying, because the only bus that wasn't going that day was the one I would have liked to take. So I had to go 2 hours earlier and...

So after having met everybody of my family and my best friend, I stayed at my Dad’s place, because he had picked me up from my best friend the day before, and I would go shopping with his girlfriend the next day. So in the evening we watched some TV and went to bed...

Christmas Stress II
The next day I woke up much too early, but on the uncomfortable sofa-bed of my Mum I couldn’t sleep well. She was already awake and in the kitchen, and prepared a small breakfast for me. She was happy because I would pass the whole day and half of the next day with...

Not everything is as it is at home..
After the Whale Watching weekend I got to know the other girls better and we went out for having dinner quite often. It was nice to have some people here, but for me it was not easy to adapt myself to their lifestyle. They wanted to go shopping and partying almost every...

One week of holidays
Finding an apartment Before my internship started I had 10 days of holidays - perfect opportunity to discover the city and the small island a bit. But first I had to go to the real estate agency because I only had 2 weeks in the hotel and wanted to look for an...
