    Kilts can get you into trouble (in Tenerife).

    Wearing a kilt can have unexpected consequences, this was taken on board a dolphin and cliff viewing (pirate) ship off Teneriffe. My wife was watching so I didn't get off scot-free.



    However all was well a little later.



    Primarily we were there to see the Los gigantes cliffs



    and the dolphins.



    though we also got to swim being launched off a trapeze,



    so I got a sea view as well.



    Other highlights included getting as near as we were allowed to to the top of the Tiede volcano above the clouds. (11,600 ft)



    from where the views were spectacular.



    We also saw the old volcano and the colours and extent and coverage of the volcanic rock surprised me.



    and there was enternainment and good company every evening.

    No pictures

    When I go into this thread the pictures show up ok, but I will try to edit it and reload the pictures, if that doesn't work I'll start again when I have time. It is obviously something to do with the site telling me I had been logged out by the time I had finished (really annoying) and to press the back arrow (which achieved nothing) so I just copied the whole post and re-posted.

    Photos reloaded, let me know if still not visible.

    I could only see the pictures after I had logged in. Great pictures by the way!

    Great pictures, done lanzarote , which is a lot more barren, so good to see another island. Looking good in your kilt, I would expect nothing less from you tpa.

    Super pics, thanks for sharing.
    In my experience, kilts always generate goodwill on the Canary Isles.
