La Palma 2007 - Boat to Tenerife

From Worldtraveller

Leaving La Palma this time required a brutally early start, to catch the Benchijigua Express back to Tenerife at 6.30am. But it was worth it for the fine views of dawn breaking over the Atlantic Ocean as we sped through the archipelago.

Approaching Los Cristianos

Back at Los Cristianos we got breakfast. No traditional Canario arepas here, this was tourist country and eggs on toast was as Spanish as we could get. At the airport we found that Thomas Cook could also be added to the Canary Islands transport blacklist, as they were running an extortionate excess luggage scam. Somehow their scales suggested that we'd acquired more than ten kilos of luggage since we had left London, and we had to pay some ridiculous fee. Next time I come to La Palma I'm getting the boat from Cádiz.
