Hi Mum,

today we visited the Botanical Garden in Puerto de la Cruz.



We saw the most insteresting plants here, like this fig tree for example. The figs are growing directly from the trunk.



This beautiful flower is called Bird of Paradise.



These trees are like a forest full of airial roots.





Tenerife is well known for its dragon trees. This is one of them. They can become hundreds of years old.



These are banana plants.









This tree is covered by lichen-



Later we walked to another park in the city.





Again we had to walk steep uphill to get there.









Our next destination was Playa Jardin, one of the few sandy beaches.



All the sand is black due to its volcanic origin. It is looking fantastic!





Around Playa Jardin a park with palm trees and cactus is created.





Tomorrow a hiking tour in the mountains is planned.

Bye
Jasper
