Well Im back, and they actually run on GMT! It was hotter at night there than it is during the day back here in Merrie Olde England and it only rained once - a refreshing light drizzle for 20 minutes.<br><br>Everywhere speaks good English, but if u ask in Spanish they difinately like you more. This holiday has prompted me tohave some recomendations f'yis all:<br><br>1)Get a romm with Air Con. I didn't and I now know its well worth the money<br>2)Learn how to buy stuff. A small book that took me 4 hours to get through (thats about the plane ride there) called "Linkword: Spanish in a day" was a big help.<br>3)Bring English literature. You'll get through books like nobody's business and anything printed in English is horrendously expensive.<br>4) If its an Irish bar, ur welcome. I stayed around Costa Adeje and went to Moonlight's Irish Corner. Live music every night from 10-12. If thats not ur cup of tea then they've a kareoke bar across the road.<br>5) Watch urself the first few days. The sun is very strong there, and not many clouds seem to hang about. Very high factors (30-40) are necessecary and because I stayed inside the first few days, I avoided going a shade that would put Dr. Fred to shame, and ended up with a nice tan.

lol it was great, but I still don't know how I managed to go there and not realise that there was an active volcano on yellow alert! Also I got a Henna cutie mark, and the sand ther is black. I was a bit pushed for time on my last post.
