Trip to zoo

So,we have been to zoo, and it was awesome! We spent there at least half a day. Of course, litke in all zoo's, tere were animals 😂. There were lot's of various types of them. The zoo was on other side of island (in Maspalomas), so we travelled for a while. And now some photos 😀.

We could walk between animals, and it felt really weird but it was fun.

That was a bird show. It was very funny because this bird was following the man for the whole time.

And there was dolphin show. I liked it very much. It was prepared really goodly.

Before the Europeans

Last weekend I had a great opportunity to discover the life of the aborigens-native inhabitants of Gran Canaria. I have visited two interesting places. The first one was called "Mundo Aborigen".
It's an area with a copy of an old aborigen village.

The second place is called "Cueva pintada". These are real ruins of a village.

Aborigines lived in round houses made out of rocks. It's pretty unique, sadly, the arrival of the European people mede aborigens' culture dissapear. It's great how Canarian people conservate these historical treasures for next generations! It was an amazing adventure!

Fuerteventura

When Błażej was on carnivals i had the opportunity to be on two other beatiful islands Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. We have been there for 4 days: Ana, Jose and spanish sister Alba. The trip was great and funny. We visited the two islands, i loved it. The beaches, the beatiful places, the people and of course their food...

Carnival!

The Carnival in Las Palmas. The biggest party of the year and the absolute must-watch for turists. I'm so happy that I could see this festival,, full of colours, music and dance.
This year it started on the 10th of February. There was a pretty big celebration in the oldest part of the city. There was a small parade, and then the local singer officaly started the carnival. There were fireworks and music, it was really cool.

 The most exciting was the last week of the carnival. The biggest parties take place then. One of them is Carnival for children. There were a lot of kids from age of 2 to 15 as well as their parents. There was a pretty long parade with a lot of dancers, drummers and even stormtroopers!

 The biggest parade though took place on Saturday, the 4th of March. It was very long (111 trucks !!)
There were a lot of people, from all around the world. It was very crowdy, but I liked that! There was also live music. Most of the participants have dressed up, my friends have chosen viking style!

The last day of the Carnival was very interesting. Here there is a tradition that on the last day of the carnival the big paper fish has to be burned. There was a small parade, and the fish was on the truck, going to Las Canteras beach. Then it was put on a small raft in the water. After a while, the fish exploded with fireworks and started burning. Then the biggest and most beautiful fireworks show has taken place. It was amazing and pretty long too. To sum up, carnival is a great occasion to have fun, I liked it very much!
