Two days ago the top of La Palma was covered in fog and it was cold – just 6 ºC. Today we were back to a cloudless blue sky, brilliant sunshine and about 18 ºC. Much nicer!
Today’s visitors were an international bunch: teenagers from Los Sauces on La Palma, The Czech Republic and Greece. I gave the tour in English and made it as simple as possible.
But no matter how good a tour guide I am, I can’t compete with the ravens. They were the stars of the show, at least until the telescope moved.
And I’m happy because I’ve started work on the whodunnit again. I only wrote 170 words yesterday, but the important thing is to get moving again.
A bit of sun makes a lot of difference.
Hello Sheila,
How can we book a tour of the Observatory with you? We will be there Feb 7 for a week.
Thanks,
Angelica
Hi Angelica.
That’s very flattering, thank you, but I’m contracted by the day as a guide and I don’t do the bookings at all. You can do that online at:

I’m currently down for the 9th (Tuesday) and 12th (Friday).
Oh, and you mightlike to know that Monday 8th is LosIndianos (http://lapalma-island.com/about-la-palma/fiestas/carnival/los-indianos/)
All the best,
Sheila
