Lanzarote 2013

The journey there… Well where do I start, we left on Thursday morning to meet up at Mum and Dad’s at around 11am-ish to load the car and set off to Gatwick. It was earlier than…

After a lay in and breakfast in the onsite restaurant, we watched a Paella and Sangria demonstration. The sangria we could taste, but the paella was €5.50 and we’d just eaten. We…

Today was a pool day, we managed to get 5 sun loungers by the pool, smothered ourselves in sun lotion and relaxed. Adam and I went in the pool which was FREEEEEZING!!!!! a real…

We went to Teguise Market which is in, no surprise, in Teguise which is, roughly, in the middle of the island, 3/4 of the way up. Anyway, the market was huge and sprawled over the…

Today we went to Marina Rubicon which is near Playa Blanca and went to the market. We’d seen the market on Wednesday during the “Blanket Tour” but hadn’t had enough time to have a…

Well they say Sunday is a day of rest, so we spent the day by the pool. It was rather empty as Sunday is Teguise Market day and we assume most people went there. Laura did manage…

Today we went to Mirador Del Rio and César Manrique Cactus Gardens. It was a long drive to the other end of the island but held promises of a floating island and spectacular views…

Another pool day today enjoying the sun. Adam went to swim and I joined him after lunch. Still a very cold pool. Laura did join me in the hot tub, which was warm up until the point…
