Maureen and Sis, and the in-flight crew
A Holiday in Los Christianos, Tenerife - 14th July 1985
The Old Man and Maureen take Nosher and Sis over on a Monarch flight to the island of Tenerife, on the Canaries, to the fishing village-cum-building site that is Los Christianos. As well as the usual visits to the beach and Piña Coladas on the hotel balcony, the holiday included a trip to Pico del Teide - a volcano in the desert - in an area that looked like it could have been the location for Planet of the Apes. There was some collective attempt to get to the top, but only Nosher made it all the way as the rest baled out about 100 metres up from the cable car stop, as it's nearly 4,000 metres up. On some other trip out into the mountains, the car almost runs out of petrol so the old man coasts it most of the way down.

Browsing some sort of tat market

Pico del Teide
A vanishing-point road, like the US southwest

A mist rolls in on the sea-side of the mountain
Other climbers on the top of the mountain
The trig point at the very top of the mountain
