This
past summer, I spent a lot of time at Milton, west of Toronto, at the National
Cycling Institute. NCIM offers cycling programs and race nights for
youth and adults, with training at all skill levels.
On
December 13th, I flew to the Canary Islands. The island of Lanzarote is north east, closest to Africa. La
Palma is far to the west.
Neither of the two flights were full. Mask wearing mandatory,
except when eating/drinking. The YUL/ZRH flight was about 2/3 full,
ZRH/ACE only 1/3 full, with people sleeping, stretched across 3
seats. The Business Class section of YUL/ZRH was completely empty.
I rented an Air B&B – a separate house behind the main house, next
to downtown. I am staying for 97 nights for just over
$67/night, which included the cleaning fees and service fee.
The owner
provides bottled water, since the tap water is deemed undrinkable. Some
of the bottled water is from La Palma.
