The bad weather from yesterday is not over yet. Forecasts say weather will improve starting tomorrow. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and we must go down to a hotel at Puerto de la Cruz again, because the observatory will close once more for the holiday. We will again stay there for two nights, coming back on the 2nd of January. We will not have internet connection then.To make planning matter more complex, Thomas has to catch the airplane at Tenerife South airport at 10:00, and that forces us to leave very early. Since there is only one car, we chose that all 4 of us (the two teams) will leave early in the morning (7:00) to go down to the airport, and then to the hotel.
Just now we learned that the highway has too much water due to rain, and we were advised to go via Vila Flor, which forces us to go through the crater of Teide. Leaving the observatory at 7:00 am is also challenging because we need someone awake (the cook) to open the "gate" for us.
We were advised to go as late as possible, so that any ice on the road would have melted. I think that, instead, we will go as slow (careful) as possible, to get to the airport in time.
