We arrived at Sol Puerto Playa hotel around 15:00, after making the journey through the curvy TF-21 road.
There were a few fast local drivers on that road, as well as slow tourist drivers. The typical local driver drives heavy-loking four-wheel drive vehicles, frightening commercial vans, or tuned exhaust pipe "normal" cars. All these vehicles appear daily-durty. On the other hand, tourist drivers, like me, drive easily identifiable, beautifully clean, un-muscled rental cars. Going down this road between a jeep and a commercial van was a bit tense experience.. But we made it to the Autopista del Norte at La Orotava.
As we approached civilization, we also approached the "zone of rare road indications". So we made 26 unnecessary kilometers of this highway because we passed the place to turn to Puerto de la Cruz (In fact we should have not turned right, but left!). After this we only took two attempts to reach our hotel, navigating inside the city with only a rought memorized map.
Of course something had to go apparently wrong: when we got to the hotel's reception, there was no reservation on my last name! They used my 3rd name, instead.. Nothing severe.
So we finally made it to this room, number 315.
Our room is nice! Two silent beds, wonderful view to the mountains behind the city, luxuriously "large" bathtub, aerodynamic water taps, but... our room only has one power outlet on the wall! There is a TV already plugged there, and we cumulatively have two laptops, and a Play Station Portable to charge.
So, we made it to the Hotel where we will stay two nights!
