On Monday we rented a van and took all of the sisters to Teide. The sisters from Los Cristianos came up on Sunday night and stayed over and we spent a fun P-day together. We drove to Orotava and did a little trinket shopping in the Casa de los Balcones, dating from the 1600's, then we drove through the charming city of Puerto de la Cruz, with a promise to come back and spend more time and then on to Teide, stopping for a few pictures on the way. The road there is very windy. We took the gondola to the top, which we haven't done before, because the line was always too long. We drove down the other side of Teide and took the Los Cristianos sisters home and then back to Santa Cruz. We had to get the sisters back by 6:30 so they could work. We made it, but we were all very tired. I don't know how they did it, especially since we never had time to eat anything except a few snacks we had in the car.

The gondola gets you this far. You can hike the rest with a permit.
