Braving landslides, trade winds, floods ...
Jeep owners in Egypt converged often in a cafe in Cairo along the Alexandria Highway near the Pyramids.
Jeep owners had trekked the Garajonay Park housing some of the world's oldest woodland, the laurisilva plant being at least 28 million years old and marked Christopher Columbus's stopover on the island in 1491.
La Gomera is just a short ferry trip from Tenerife and it is an unpredicable island, with the Jeep braving landslides, trade winds and ride floods.
La Gomera is the second smallest of the Canary Islands, with a plateau at its centre of a diameter of 23 miles. The demanding bends, the spirals of gradients, the gaping ravines is a good test for the Jeeps. For those who suffer vertigo, this is not the correct place although La Gomera is magical and beautiful.
Garajonay Park is a national park, declared a world heritage site by Unesco. Like the legend of the Princess of Mount Ledang, in Asahan, Malacca; the name Garajonay, so the legend has it, comes from 2 lovers called Gara and Jonay.
The couple threw themselves off the park's highest peak because their marriage was opposed.
The light changes with every bends, one moment you see the sun but the next it disperses, clouds appears there and then with sudden rain and stop abruptly. With strong winds, the sun, clouds, the rain and the fog teases you.
You will get worried one minute, happy the next and then worried again.
La Gomera, Spain.
