  • It's time to explore the mountains of Gran Canaria that are in the centre of the island, even though the highest peaks are hidden in the clouds. Tommy would rather go somewhere warm, but Peter the weatherman seems to be in the mood for some fog. So, let's go 🙄

    If you'd like to see more hiking in the Canary Islands, you can check out this video from Liam Brown: ruclips.net/video/jd6NBVJGkmc/видео.html
    He is a guy from the UK who makes videos about his hiking adventures. His videos are very different from ours - there is no music or anything; it's just him talking and hiking, quite slow-paced and raw. But you can get a feel for a place that way. In the video, he started on the islands of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura (which are the driest and, to be honest, not that interesting), and then he went to Gran Canaria (around 26.00), where he hiked up the same long, vast valley where we were staying, and then farther into the mountains. He got luckier with the weather and could even see the island of Tenerife from the top of Gran Canaria. But he also encountered fog and cold, so it was nice seeing him experience that as well. He then continued to Tenerife and finished in the area around Mount Teide, where we were last year. He is a backpacker, which means he hiked for more days and also slept in a tent on his hike.

    I think that is awesome that you can walk in the clouds. It is like being in the sky. Two angels walking in the heaven.

    Oh guys, we absolutely admire your tenacious motivation to achieve your hiking goals despite adverse conditions. Darren is so like you Tommy where his body temperature has a marked effect on his mood. It was such a gift though for you to be able to end the day on breathtaking scenery and that gorgeous sunset...❤

    • @tommyandpeter
      @tommyandpeter  4 месяца назад +1

      It's a nice feeling when you achieve the goals. Of course Tommy usually doesn't care about that when he is too cold or too hot 😀 Luckily there was the warm second half of the day with amazing views and the beautiful sunset 😊

    Hello guys .You have to make the most of the weather wherever you go ,but you are often rewarded by a sunset . When we lived in Cyprus the sunsets were always the best part of the day .

    • @tommyandpeter
      @tommyandpeter  4 месяца назад +1

      Yes, sunsets can be amazing! When we were in Cyprus, we got to see the sunset every day 😊 Here in the mountains in Gran Canaria the second half of the day was also amazing. We loved it 😁

    It's like the birds were putting on a concert for just you and Tommy!! And Tommy was right about the views being so stunning....just magical. The cloud covered mountain hike was downright scary, though, but glad you were able to complete it.

    • @tommyandpeter
      @tommyandpeter  4 месяца назад +1

      Yes, and it was so amazing listening to the birds singing. It was such a great hike in the warm second half of the day 😊 Thank you 😉

    Hello Peter and Tommy ! Thank you for these gorgeous walks. The landscape is stunning.

    Simply fantastic! We heard in the background, musically speaking, the 4 seasons of Vivaldi, you didn't miss anything: clouds, rain but above all wind, a lot of wind, only a little snow was missing. We titled this beautiful video "Gone with the Wind" 😎

    What a wonderful and beautiful place. Very unique, even the plants are very different. Beautiful vistas even with the adverse weather. A really nice video. When Peter mentioned dinosaurs because of the landscape, I was thinking the same thing. So unusual. Thanks for taking me along. You guys take care. See you soon. Tony

    "We should have stayed home" Seriously Peter? We know you love the challenges even the most dangerous ones. Poor Tommy subjected to the whims of a brat king. Revenge has to be terrible. It could be an ice water bath on the way back. Lol. Just kidding.
    As you say, trully top-notch views.
    That magical sunset was caprured with excellence.
    And yes, we also felt part of that wonderful experience.
    Thanks a lot for sharing. Kisses.

      Hi Liliana. Tommy was not amused at all, but in the end he prevailed. And luckily it got so much better later 😊 Sadly no ice bath or ice-cold waterfalls on our hike. That would certainly be fun, haha 😀 Thank you, glad you liked the amazing views and the sunset. It was magical 😊

    I never thought a 'small' island would be that high. That is as high as Denver Colorado which is just about as far from the ocean as Czech Republic.

    • @tommyandpeter
      @tommyandpeter  4 месяца назад

      The Canary Islands are volcanic, and volcanos can be quite high. On the neighboring island of Tenerife there is Mount Teide which is the highest point of Spain - 3,715 m (12,188 ft) 😉

      Yes, but then we wouldn't escape winter in central Europe, which is the main reason why we love to visit the Canary Islands 😁 The mountains were still gorgeous, we really liked our second hike 😊
