It Rained but...

Ok, it has rained but it was not that bad. We had some thunderstorms over here whitch is not very common as I can count the thunderstorms I've seen on Gran Canaria with the fingers of one hand and I'm 37 years old... so...
Was is too much to put us on red alert? Maybe not as you can never know how the weather is going to be when a storm like that approaches to the islands. This evening I arrived at 2:30 in the morning and after I took a shower it started to rain BIG time but only for about 5-8 minutes.

Heavy Rain on Gran Canaria

It is anounced on TV and you can see it on the wather forecast: It is going to rain over here the next couple of days. A storm is approaching to the Canaries and we've been put into Red Alert because of heavy rainfall and strong winds. There will be no school tomorrow because of the red alert on all of the islands exept on Lanzarote and Fuerteventura... let's see what happens :)

Price Changes for Canarytransferservice.com

It's alsmost 2 years my website http://canarytransferservice.com is up and my boss told me to change the prices.
This will affect all the new reservations from now on but not the reservations that where made before the date we are going to change the prices: tomorrow.
The prices are given to me so don't hate me for that: I always try to keep them as low as possible and if you check our competitors you'll see we have almost the best prices for airport transfers on Gran Canaria beating even some companies who charge the same price we have to travel with a bus.
Please visit the website for more info and check the new prices.

Airport closed due to Volcano Ashes!

Las Palmas Airport was colsed today due to Volcano Ashes.
This means that people who should arrive today will not leave their local airport and people who should leave Gran Canaria today are going to stay .... I'm sure some will be angry but others will be happy to stay here, huh ;)
Let's hope this ashes will not stay for too long....

This is not possible

Unbelievable: Just after all the rain we had 3 days later we now have "calima" over the islands. Why didn't this calima came before the rain?? Hope it doesn't stay too long :)

Don't know what this calima is? Take a look at the picture below ;)

Rain Rain and more Rain

Over the last 3 days we had loads of rain here in Gran Canaria. The good part is that know we have a green island and some "rivers" coming down from the mountains :)
The bad part is that we are not ready to handle all that water witch makes our streets, houses and others "sink".
