Chris shoes you how local honey rum should be consumed - straight out of a vase!

Round two at the Japanese place and Ben somehow manages to dodge food poisoning.

Battle over...

Breakfast of choice for many...

The best skatepark in all of Gran Canaria - that fact we never got to skate this beast will haunt us all forever, I'm sure.

Barney stoked on his mini-mate.

The largest dog on earth.

Trunky D isn't a stranger to the camera. Steez like this don't come for free...

I'm guessing that this was taken before Ben realised that he'd put his trucks on his new plank the wrong way round.

On the other side of the bench from Ben, Will looks on in despair.

First day fountains and Domingo Trunks.

Shelter from the storm - the alternative angle.

Dwindle documentation mandem Tim hits up Spar and stocks up for the crew.

If you look closely enough you can probably make out TM Sami taking early morning sea dip. And yeah, that is how close we were to the beach.
