At The Botanical Gardens

After yesterday's rain, this morning there wasn't a cloud in the sky and we could see the top ofMount Teide for the first time (see extras).

We wandered round the botanical gardens which are just up the road from our hotel, where red dragonflies like this were posing by the ornamental pond (also in extras)

A bit of drinking and eating in cafes ensued followed by a lot of lazing by the pool and reading this afternoon in the sun.
