Today was Aunt Kate's last day with us on the canary islands. After a bit of walnut farming, we drove to the east coast to go for a hike around a caldera.
The hike was a bit more strenuous than I'd expected, and I ran out of gas in Ellis' motorcycle. I need to eat more in the morning on days we're carrying the kids around.
The caldera was a collapsed volcano,and the hike was well marked with interpretive signs. The uphill sections were tricky because they had gravel that slid back when you walk, kind of like walking in sand or snow.
We had a picnic lunch once we made it around the caldera, and the kids had fun crawling around and rolling in the volcanic gravel.
We then drove into a nearby city for snacks and supplies. All of the shopping centres here seem to have kids playgrounds. This one was in and outdoor courtyard.
We said goodbye to Aunt Kate at the mall, and went back to the house. Grandma and Grandpa took her for tapas and then drove her to the airport. It's easier to say bye knowing that we'll see her again in Toronto on Thursday. Thanks for joining us on our trip, Aunt Kate!
