Hola Gran Canaria

Dated: 12th - 21st July 2008
Probably one of the most exciting and amazing summer holidays I have experienced...and it was in Gran Canaria island, an archipelago located in the Atlantic Ocean and one of the seven islands of the Canary Islands off the coast of Spain and only 210 km from the northwest coast of Africa!


The Tres Amigos (as we called ourselves) seen here basking on the Amadores beach.








I especially enjoyed this diving area at the Amadores beach. Clear torquoise water was too hard to resist. Its about 3 meters deep here and the rocks and fishes swimming below are clearly visible.








Blissfully floating..ahhh how lovely it was.












Amadores beach...my favourite beach in Gran Canaria.














Snorkling was great fun. The captian of the boat lured the fishes with crumbs of bread and when they started to congregate near the boat, we went into the water to see them.
