This morning, 9am, we flew to Teneriffa, Spain. It took us about 5 hours to arrive the destination. As soon as we reached this island, the sunny weather and warm temperature made us feel very comfortable. We love this feeling, just like in the summer, because compare with the cold Austria in December, Teneriffa is really much more nicer.

今天早上9点，我们飞往西班牙的特纳里夫海岛，大约花了5个小时才抵达目的地。当我们一踏上这片海岛的时侯，阳光明媚的天气和温暖的气温让我们感觉非常舒服。我们喜欢这种感觉，就像是在夏天一样，因为和寒冷的奥地利相比，特纳里夫海岛的12月真的要强百倍。
