The last goodbye

Our journey has come to the end. For me, it was pretty much the biggest adventure of my whole life. I loved it. I won't forget it and I recommend it to everyone. We saw the beauty of the Canary Islands and made new, wonderful friends!


But, of course we were excited to come back home! I'm not going to lie, I missed my family and friends. But still, I could stay a little bit longer😁


I want to say big 'thank you' to everyone who was reading our blog!

Saying goodbye!

As our adventure is finishing, last Saturday I went to a lovely town of Aldea in order to say goodbye to Celia's family. Aldea is a pretty interesting place. Before, it was a global centre of tomato farming!


 This is Juan, he's Celia's grandfather, and he was working in a tomato farming company. He showed me a little museum that was established by local people of Aldea. Inside you could see a lot of old pictures and other things used in the past.





As you can see above, tomatos from Aldea were being sold to pretty much all countries of European continent.


On Sunday, we decided to go to the Las Canteras beach for this last time. I really wish we could stay a little bit longer! It was an amazing experience and I'll never forget it 😪

Roque Nublo

Last Saturday we went to the mountains! We climbed the second highest mountain of Gran Canaria: Roque Nublo. But it's not a normal, boring mountain. It has beautiful views, a lot of litlle caves and a massive rock on the top!
This one above is Roque Nublo. We can translate it as "Cloud Stone," which is the right name, as its the highest point in the area.

This is another rock with very interesting shape. This one is called "The Monk."
You may be suprised, why it's so foggy, even though it's very sunny and hot. This thing you can see is not a fog. These are very small pieces of sand, which are carried from Sahara desert by the wind!
I love visiting mountains here. They are so different compared to Polish ones. They seem very naked, there aren't many trees and all of them are pine trees. In Poland most mountains are covered with giant forest with all kinds of trees.
