Getting out of the villa before noon seems an impossibility as the surroundings are so relaxing. We spoke to David and Rosemasry about the internet connection. They had kept saying it would be sorted out but yesterday the Telefonica chap came out and went away without resolving the problem. We need a connection to make contact with our friends the Jacksons who arrive here today.
David said he would sort it out by evening. We had planned a walk in the Orotava valley but the weather on the mountain looked threatening so we decided to go to the old town of Laguna. Parking was a mare but totally by accident we found a space not far from the town centre.
The place isn't that big with two main streets of old houses. As it was siesta time, may of the shops were closed,much to the bemusement of tourists like us. At the head of the main street was a distinctive campanile attached to a church.
We also went in to an old courtyard where a reproduction of Picasso's Guernica was displayed, made totally out of coins.
Joan came across a party shop and was looking for Happy New Year signs in Spanish for our party on Sunday. Unfortunately it was all in English.
Back at the villa David sorted out our internet connection at last so we can surf the web to our heart's content.
We looked at the villa where the Jackson's were staying and it is about a mile away across the barranco.
Currently cooking Aubergine Parmigiana for dinner.
