So here's how the trip started. Two pasty white people heading to the islands, because frankly, London was wintery and well, we wanted some beach time. So you see Jason, day one. Shorts, sunglasses and flip flops. Happy to be near the blue sea with the sun on our faces. 
Everyone else looks a bit tanner than we are, but hey its only our first hour or two!
As it turns out there are two things unique to Tenerife. Lava and clouds. The entire island is made up of lava. No soil. Just lava and ground up lava. (By the way, ground up lava makes THE most beautiful black sand beaches!) The other unique thing to Tenerife is clouds. Tenerife averages something like 320 days of sun a year. No small feat considering that in the middle of the island is a giant volcano that is covered in snow throughout the winter months. If you live in the Bay Area in California, you are no stranger to micro-climates. Tenerife is the same. Its only constant is the sun. That is except for the week Jason and I chose to holiday there.
