The reason i went was to celebrate my Mum's 60th Birthday. Generally i hate this kind of holiday i get bored so easily and British people generally annoy the shit out of me when they are on holiday. Its all lets see how drunk and annoying we can get and see if we can make an even worse name for ourselves in such little time. I wen http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Canary-Islands/Lanzarote/blog-313663.html I stayed in Playa Blanca which is a quiet resort and perfect for people who want to get away from it all. It has a beautiful beach complete with watersports. There isn't much going on in the evening in Playa Blanca. Timanfaya National Park is a must see in Lanarote. Most of the trip there is spent on the coach as you are not allowed to walk around the volcanoes. The scenery is breathtaking to look http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Canary-Islands/Lanzarote/blog-276655.html The week at the resort was just what the doctor ordered. After months 2.5 months of working I finally got some time to chill with Nics without having the strains of work or bad weather ruining our fun. Apart from a couple of visits we haven't seen each other much since she started work in Winchester so it's been a while since the wild months of partying last summer.And fun it was The sun http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Canary-Islands/Lanzarote/blog-240184.html LanzaroteSunday 25th NovemberAfter spending the morning tidying and ensuring our bag was packed we were ready when Colin picked us up at 11.30am. We had no problems checking in at Stansted and security was well organised and efficient. We killed a little time in the duty free before making our way to the lounge at the gate where we read the novels we had brought until it was time to board.A very b http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Canary-Islands/Lanzarote/blog-224742.html While everyone else in the lab was freezing cold in Cambridge I was sunning myself in Lanzarote with Charlie. The weather was even better than predicted but I did get a little bit too warm when I went to visit the Timanfaya National Park and ended up on the volcano grill The ground is very hot in that area and a barbeque set up over a hole is hot enough to cook chicken and me. I also went to http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Canary-Islands/Lanzarote/blog-135955.html First of all we must apologise for the lack of posting these past few months. We have been busy with boring menial tasks so even if we did put anything up it would have been a picture of me reading a journal article or brad working reception or maybe one of us sleeping. However we just came back from a fantastic trip to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands so now we have more interesting subject matt http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Canary-Islands/Lanzarote/blog-135897.html
