Longstride

Today, we took a well-earned zero: we relaxed and didn’t go anywhere on the trail.

Zeroes are lazy days, so here’s some bullet points instead of prose:

• Amber made us avocado toast and the best scrambled eggs we have ever had.
• We spent two or three hours planning the next island, Tenerife. The planning was exhausting. We expect to hike the 93.5 km (58 miles) in four days.

CareFree Planning the Hike on Tenerife

• CareFree, Eric, Amber, and I went into the old part of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, wandered around for a couple of hours, and got lunch.

• Later, we went down to the beach nearish their home for dinner. We had 7:30 pm dinner reservations, about 45 minutes after sunset. The beach was well-lit by lights, and was very busy.
• Roughly two hours later, after we finished eating, we went to an ice cream shop; the beach was still surprisingly active.
• We returned to Eric and Amber’s home and prepared to leave tomorrow morning on a ferry to Tenerife.
