Cactus on Gran Canaria

Out last port of call was Lisbon and we went out for a morning run with the plan of seeing the sights after a quick brunch.

The weather had other ideas and it rained as if Noah was planning upon making another appearance. 

Instead we sat and watched from the top deck of the ship. 

Today we are in Gran Canaria and caught a bus to the Botanic Gardens. 

Daz was a bit impatient with my camera and I had to run to get a photo with the giant cacti, but he relented and let me pose for the second shot. 

We were also in good company as lots of spiders had wound their webs all over the top of the spiky cacti.
