    When we woke up this morning there was a friendly pigeon on the balcony. We fed it seeds from our hands.

      As we got near the top, it started to resemble the Grand Canyon. We wandered in to the middle of the huge lava pit.

      We then drove towards the big rocks, so we could climb on top of them. Jesus was doing the same.

      We then drove to the top of the volcano which resembles the moon. Dad told us that they used this landscape to test the moon buggy before taking it in to space.

      There was some snow on the ground, so we had a mini snowball fight.

      We drove down the other side of the mountain which was very misty and creepy.

      At the bottom we hit Porte de la Cruz, which was a very pretty town.

      We walked through the square, which was really pretty and there was a nice dog.

      We then went for cake in a really nice restaurant. There was so much choice… I wanted to try one of everything. I went for a chocolate and orange gateau which had meringue pieces on top. It was amazing!

    Afterwards we walked down the steps to the shore. The waves were crashing violently against the rocks.

    We had a look in the rock pools while trying not to slip on the green algae. There were hundreds of fish in one.

    There was a little alter buried high up in the rock wall. I've seen so many of these throughout the holiday.

      On the way home we stopped at Playa Jardin just in time to watch the sunset. This was one of the black beaches.

      It took ages to drive home through the windy little mountain roads. We had dinner and then had some of the cakes we brought back from the bakery. Tom and I had nutty cakes and a marzipan strawberry. I got my Dad a volcano rock cake.
