Title: Giant "lizard" on Corralejo dunes
Post by: Steve54 on September 21, 2012, 13:45:42 PM
Finally managed to work out how to get pictures posted on here, many thanks to both Carlo and Dee Dee for their help.

Back home now after another fabulous two weeks in Corralejo, staying at Los Abanicos, which is between Oasis Tamarindo and the new Mercadona

My favourite walk to the beach is across the dunes opposite the complex, which I have done for many years.

Imagine my surprise as I walked towards the top of a ridge and saw "this" about 50 yards away

I took a picture and quickly dropped back behind the ridge and made off in another direction. When it came back into view again I noticed it hadn't moved, I thought it must be sunning itself.

So I took another picture

Thinking something isnt right here I went in closer and took this picture

I know, I know, I should take more water with it, oh dear, I'm looking for the men in the white coats now !!!

What a dipstick !!

The heat in the dunes does funny things to you. Wear a hat next time you go for a walk!!!!!
