Fuerteventura-mountain trek

Our mountainbike trek took us through some pretty vast, open spaces. All you could here were the waves in the distance, pounding ashore, an occasional goat, and the ever-present wind. Amazing.

After 12 km we had reached a fork in the road and realized that we would not have the strength to bike the last 8 km to the tip of the island without running the risk of not making it back! We tied up the bikes to a sign and got a ride from a really nice older couple (in their rental car) who were nice enough to take us down and back up to the bikes. Without them, whose names we never knew, we would have not seen the pounding surf and lighthouse... :-) A very welcome solution to our dilemma!
