Hallo Rob, bedankt voor je komentaar op mijn foto's. Ik heb er drie weken gelogeerd bij vrienden in de stad Gran Canaria .De foto's die je zag zijn bijna uitsluitend gemaakt op een tweedaagse trektocht rgens aan de noordoost kant.We sliepen er op het strand,waarvan ook foto's,vanwaar we Tenerife konden zien. Jouw foto's geven een veel ruimer beeld op het eiland.Goed gedaan. Groeten,Jean-Luc

Hallo dear Guest, Thanks for the compliments. It is a real pitty I can't put an e-mail directly back to you, so I'm trying to give a reaction this way. Gran Canaria indeed is a wonderful place, and we especially like Puerto de Mogan. Does the family of your partner come from this place?. We'll return there next december for a holiday. Could it be that your parner's family has relations to the "Capucchino" restaurant? We frequently had dinner there and we also know that the skipper of the yellow fishing ship (this ship also named "Capucchino" and to be seen on on several of my pictures) has relations to the restaurant. On the picture he can be seen as the youger man in the middle. Anyway, I hope to hear more from you, if you read this maybe you can send a message to my personal e-mail adress (visible at my "profile" page ). Friendly greetings Rob Oele Netherlands.
