Day #17 (2008/12/31) One less

Yesterday, concern was that leaving very early in the morning would be a problem due to bad weather or ice on the road. A valid concern, on a mountainous climate, high above sea level. We were advised to go through Vila Flor in order to reach the south airport.
We woke up early to take Thomas to airport. Bad weather was gone!
We took the suggested route via TF-21 towards Vila Flor, but as we reached El Portillo a sign told us the road was closed! We came back and went through our originally planned route, through Güimar. This only cost us half hour. All the way, care was taken not to go fast as rocks, ice, or other traps laid by the weather could be present.
Still, we arrived airport at 9:00 and had to wait 45 min for check-in. So our trip was a success.

We then went to our hotel (same as for Christmas), had dinner, and as soon as the new year started we went to bed to commemorate it with sleep! A good way to start a year, I think! There are those who wish to start the year with the right foot, we chose to start it with the right dream!
