Well we have definitely settled into our new digs in the little town of Garachico on the Northwest side of the island. Fantastic little hotel called la quinta roja. The converted this old house from the 1700s to a very unique hotel that has probably only about 15 rooms in total. There is a large open terrazza in the middle to take in the midday espresso and evening wine...Which is exactly where we are right now.

Went for a short 65km ride today out the the end of the earth essentially accoring to the island and then climbed forever to some little town that should not exist in the middle of the island.

Coolest things today:
Were riding along in a pitch black tunnel 'towards the light' for about half a kilometre. Seriously this tunnel was so friggin dark you could not tell where the walls were.
Riding 17% grade hills... It was really weird when we got to ride 13%...they were so much easier.

data and pis up later.
I find I am easing into vacation mode very easily.
