ADVENTURE IN GRAN CANARIA Our adventure began a weekend during last summer. A group of friends, my wife and I went camping on a small deserted beach in Gran Canaria. You can only go this beach by coach [what is a coach?], but we went kayaking.

On Friday, after leaving our jobs, we went to rent  kayaks in Arguineguin , because we would begin our route from the harbour at Mogan to our beach. When we arrived, the sky began to darken, so we would have to kayak at night. But it was a beautiful summer night and the moon was full, which meant we would have good visibility. The sea was calm. We began our adventure enjoying the surroundings. In the darkness of the ocean we could see small luminescen tlights floating, which were pretty spectacular. I even got to see a flying fish. After three hours of crossing, we reached the beach.

Throughout the weekend, we enjoyed a wonderful beach weather, but on Sunday at noon the weather began to worsen, so we decided to collect our things and return. After an hour, the waves were huge and very difficult to handle the kayaks a  nd went along not by the strong current. Beginning to be tired and arms hurt us.

Finally, a fishing boat rescued us and took us to the port. We were all exhausted and had been afraid. But when we reached the port and we were all well and we started laughing and we remembered how bad situation was. After this trip, we had others, but we always remember this adventure.
