North to South and back again – Bangladesh to Australia

Arrived from the Portuguese Azores to the Spanish Canary Islands

For anyone who knows me – I really resist looking at pictures of places we are going- I love to be surprised:)

Today was no exception. I was surprised at the landscape of the island- anyone who has never been- what would you think the Canary Islands would look like? I will keep you in suspense and will share in a little bit:)

We flew over a ship – from a distance it looked to have some smoke- thinking about the ship travelling from Germany that caught fire by an island in the Azores on Wednesday (carrying 4000 vehicles- including Porsches, Audis and Bentleys) we flew by. It wasn’t that ship.

I was surprised by the sand. The landscape reminds me of flying over Egypt.

Another surprise is the name – Canary- thinking a bird- rather the origin comes from a Latin name meaning “Islands of the Dogs” because of the vast multitude of very large dogs that were on the island.
