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.

Oh Wow..!! What an amazing story.................and it could have ended so differently..!! I'm so glad you found him............but not as glad as you (or him), I suspect.

Well, this is a lovely coastal landscape image...............and Rabbit is looking very handsome and none-the-worse for wear............so all's well that ends well :-)

What a story - you lucky ones!!! It really would have been very sad for all of us, if you lost each other! :-((
But with all yours hard work, the end was a happy one.
Thank you for the report and for that very beautiful photo, too.

Quite a scary adventure for you all but it ended well and I think you and Rabbit deserved the celebration lunch. Thank you for the beautiful view as well as the story.

All in a day's travel Rabbit. We have been left behind in a park in Birmingham, in a pub on Dartmoor, and Costa once wandered off on his own on the Normandy coast.

So pleased Rabbit was Ok! I would have asked you to enlist my niece in the search (she is a doctor on Lanzarote) out of desperation!
