La Palma. Don't be mistaken with Las Palmas in Gran Canaria, because then you are on the wrong plane, as our pilot told at the time. La Palma is the northernmost island of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean west of Africa. It is a volcanic island where no road is completely flat.

On the airport runway except.

My arrival on La Palma started well. When we got off the plane and walked towards baggage claim, husband and son wanted to use the toilet for a while. And as soon as they came from there, we saw our suitcases appear on the belt. Hubby quickly got ahead and I was after it. The first suitcase was quickly packed and I was able to get the second one off, but then the right shoelace of my hiking boots hooked into the hook of the left shoe. And, BAM, I was lying sprawled forward on my face. Getting up wasn't easy because I was so sick that I couldn't move. But after a few minutes, that subsided and, with help, I was able to hoist myself up. Then we knew right away that I hadn't broken anything, but walking wasn't easy. More to the point, thanks to the support of my suitcase, I was able.

Arriving at the apartment in Puerto Naos, my knee was set up and a little bit civilized. But the next morning, I had a splendor of a color palette on my knee. After the holidays, what we already suspect, it turned out that he was badly bruised.

Characteristic of La Palma is the black sand of the beach. And there, too, pebbles and rocks along the water.
