Singapore stopover February 2019
A three night stopover in Singapore on my way to New Zealand,which included a walk through MacRitchie Reservoir Park,a visit to Pulau Ubin Island, and a look round Singapore Botanic Gardens which have been greatly extended since my "day stopover" on one of my very early trips to NZ.

Another short trip to Gran Canaria which meant that I'd been walking on four of the Canary Islands ( El Hierro , Tenerife x 2 , La Gomera , Gran Canaria ) within a four month period!
My accommodation for the first four nights was in the mountain village of San Bartolome,although three of the four day walks started from Santa Lucia further down the valley. Then following my walk out to Sardina Sur on the Ruta de Sal I moved round to Valsequillo which is inland from Telde for another four (wetter) days.
As with previous GC visits I found lots of "new"old paths had been waymarked and signposted.

Back over on the ferry from La Gomera to Tenerife for the second half of my holiday, staying in Icod de los Vinos and then Bajamar.
Icod gives good access to walks in the north west area including the Teno region and Bajamar to those on the Anaga penisular.
Newly all new ground to me even on the Anaga where I've been quite a few times and am now doing walks based on the geocaching.com site which are not in the guidebooks.

First half of a La Gomera and Tenerife trip in fabulous weather and although this was my fourth visit to La Gomera most of the walks I did were on new ground for me.
