nearly the last ever photo of Rabbit.....

We walked up to the Punta Ganada in the north of Lanzarote for this fantastic view. About half an hour after this photo, we had clambered to the top of a nearby ridge and discovered that the camera bag - in which Rabbit was hitching a ride - was no longer with us. An anxious retracing of our steps on the steep slopes ensued, in baking mid-day temperatures. We searched under cactuses and peered behind rocks, we worked out the wind direction and wondered if the camera bag had blown down the slope, we scrambled up and down getting hotter and hotter and more and more worried. After an hour, when spirits were flagging, we found the camera bag lodged in a gap in a low stone wall. Inside, Rabbit was waiting patiently, having never once (well, hardly ever) doubted that he would be rescued.

A very large celebratory lunch in Haria followed.
