67.14 Tenerife: The full blog of the journey from Afur to Taganana with a particularly tough return (for us on the day).

Returning to half-way point for a steep climb to the car while taking in the glorious coloring of the section.
Climbing downwards after trying a new route. Going 'backwards', in a manner of speaking, is often a good way.
One of us on a narrow path below with the villages of El Chorro and Taganana in the rear; in the distance, the sea-stacks protrude which we mention often. The leaning pinnacles are a delight.
Jen doing her thing despite feeling a bit 'off'.
Doing his thing, too...whatever that may be.
...which takes him quite high heading toward a narrow edge.
An indication, below the pinnacle, of where we commenced.
Well, at least it's downhill for a while.
The richness of the groundcover is uplifting.
Downhill, still going on for a while. The balance in life will even things out a little later.
'Bird's eye view'...all very well but where's the bird?...on pinnacle, of course. One hopes the bird is not gloating of its talent...being able to sit in that enviable position.
'Here's the bird.': But don't ask to 'eye' the eye.
Why would Jen turn her back on that colorful coverage?
. ...Because she's going for a close-up of this scene again: The village/hamlet of El Chorro below. Toward the top-right corner, one can spot the road leading down into the developments. Never ceases to amaze where humans will position themselves. Commendable!
Ocean scene with Roque Taborno at highpoint.
Another of the 'Roque' but with a prickly sentry below.
We resisted providing an appropriate caption for a number of reasons. Select your own...at risk.
After struggling on the day because of illness (since recovered), who better than Jen to close the hike pictorially? She still faces the toughest part of the day.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
