Today brought us to the volcanic Island of Lanzarote. Rumrunner1 and I had decided to rent a car a short distance down the pier.
\nWe were soon off with his daughter also with us and we were headed to the south end of the island. I did the first bit of the driving while he directed me to there.
\nIf one has a Garmin hand-held GPS you can get maps for free from Free worldwide routable Garmin Maps<\/a>. They work great, and even better that they are free.<\/p>\n

We did several caches today but the most notable one was a virtual cache called Monta\u00f1a de las Lapas o del Cuervo<\/a>. This cache required us to visit a dormant volcano and we decided to hike to the top and look inside. Once we did this we then went inside to complete the requirements of this cache.<\/p>\n

We also did another cache called La Bomba<\/a> which provided us a walk on volcanic rock. The best way to describe this is was moon like.<\/p>\n

There was another cache we did that took us past a Camel Farm, very interesting.<\/p>\n

We did stop at the Winery called Stravs Winery<\/a> where we sampled three different wines they grow grapes for.<\/p>\n

We completed a total of 6 caches here today and one of the best caches of the trip so far. I would never have seen the volcano had it not been for caching or seen what La Bomba’s are.<\/p>\n
