| Fabulous sunsets |
This year we returned albeit a week later to the same hotel, the adults only Hovima Costa Adeje, again seeking some winter warmth and escape from the incessant rain we've all been experiencing since what seems like the end of November.
There's not much to add to what I said last year really. The weather was a bit warmer (hot in fact during the day), and all I said about the hotel and resort last year still stands.

In the previous post I said that if we came again we'd probably do one of the whale/dolphin watching trips they run from the local marina, and we did just that. Rather than book one of the bigger, more crowded boats, we went with a smaller outfit, with just 12 of us in a RIB. Very environmentally conscious, and a great guide who clearly knows his stuff. It was a fascinating 2 hours just off the coast and we saw loads of pilot whales and Atlantic dolphins and a bonus loggerhead turtle. Well worth the trip cost of about £110 for the two of us. My
Trip Advisor review can be seen here.

We also did a trip to a banana plantation and local Bodega (winery). Whilst it was interesting, I'm afraid I was a little under the weather with some sort of bug for 36 hours, so that trip was a bit of a struggle for me, although Anne enjoyed it.

All in all another chilled week in the sun.
