Slept late, ate something, dozed off again, got up at 13:00. We need to find a bank in Adeje! Caja Canarios requires us to open an account (!) before they will cash our traveller cheques, haha. We cash them at La Caixa, which costs us 7€ in comission. Perros!
Well, using the EC card at an ATM costs me CHF 5 as well. Perros, too!
When we have to go to the bathroom during the night, we wake each other so that one of us can always watch for cockroaches. They are just too damn big. And fast, too. When we entered the cockroach cave that night, we spotted another one! It escaped the *sandal of instant cockroach death*. From its crack, it was probably watching us on the toilet seat, big antennas slowly feeling the air, legs still trembling from its sudden flight.
We take the car to Iglesia Sta. Ursula in Adeje, and then we hike up Barranco del Inferno, to the first waterfall. (I found a story of German canyoneers coming the other way, from the top down to Adeje via Google... ¹) It is damn hot where the trail starts in Adeje, everything is dry, the barranco is dry. Where is the water? It is summer, so either it is totally dry because there is practically no forrest above Adeje, or the water is deviated... The book says that it has been deviated. It will be greener further up.
Small channels to carry water to drier places
It must be a torrent in the rainy season!
