CANARY SONG
LIKE THE SONG SAYS, “It’s a Big, Wide, Wonderful World”. And you wouldn’t be the only one if you wanted to ride it all. The problem for many of us is that we’re getting a bit long in the tooth to fit all of it into the remaining years of our riding life.
Fear not, pilgrims. I have found a way in which you can do most of it in a week. Amazing? Unlikely? Of course. True? Well, sort of. Close enough for starters, that’s for sure.
My bag was one of the first off the carousel at Reina Sofia Airport, and I heaved a sigh of relief. I’ll tell you why some other time, but be assured that I was not at all sure that it would make it. With the bag rolling contentedly behind me I set off to find my chauffeur – it was nearly midnight and I wanted to make the trip to the hotel as easy as possible. I was back in Tenerife, back in the Canary Islands and ready to ride the “Big, Wide, Wonderful World”.
I can’t help it, I have to insert one of my little fact snippets here. Think of it as a way to keep myself awake in the taxi after 35 hours of travel
