Santa Cruz - Varaderos Anaga

My booking had been changed to the first flight out of El Hierro for Tenerife at 08:40. This meant an early start.
I went down to check out at 06:30. A bleary eyed duty receptionist emerged when I rang the bell but she was unable to prepare my bill. I some details and my phone number for the day receptionist.

Outside it was still very dark. I drove quietly along the west coast road, through the long tunnel and across to the airport stopping for a while to watch the sun come up.

I got to the airport just after 07:30.
Binter might have expensive fares but their check-in is very quick. This time it took less than a minute. The day receptionist from Hotel Balneario called and I paid the bill.

First flight of the day from El Hierro.


The flight was on time and I was back on board by 11:00. The rest of the day was spent sanding the hull in preparation for antifouling. A very dirty job.

Late in the day Tomas returned from his birthday trip to Madrid and we into Santa Cruz for dinner at
La Hierbita.
