Blogs from Canary Islands, Spain, Europe - page 11

In order to escape the bitter winter and cold of Europe I decided to have an experience going to lanzarote which is one of the 7 islands of the Canaries. I landed by night and so I had to sleep for a few hours in the airport. As a first place to stay I discovered that,there was a camping site just on the beach. El Papagayo coastline is really remote and is perfect to relax on the beach and going exploring the surroundings. But to get up here I had to walk along the rugged coast for about 4.5 km which I enjoyed since it was breezy and not too much hot. Plenty of sailing boats dotted the sea and it was spectacular. There are also nudist beaches here. To me it seemed like to be ... read more

Today we are travelling from London Gatwick to Tenerife South on Easyjet. As we are not restricted to the normal two hour check in restriction with Easyjet, we have treated ourselves to a lounge. We are pleasantly surprised by what they have on offer. They even had warm bacon baps. Progress from the lounge through to the gate and onto the plane was smooth and in no time at all, we were back in Tenerife. Another great holiday has sadly come to an end Farewell till next time folks on our next scheduled travel. It is being prepared right now.... read more

From last blog... Malaga - Las Palmas de Gran Canaria - Fuerteventura - Lanzarote - Barcelona - Frankfurt (Germany) We have wanted to go to the Canaries for a long time. They are a pretty remote group of islands in the Atlantic just off the coast of Western Africa and owned by Spain so we were excited about that - an island chain in the middle of nowhere with some Spanish flare - sweet, so back towards the Moroccon coast we flew! Landing in Gran Canaria, we arrived at our hotel, kicked off our bags and booked it to the beach, no Spanish flare in sight. With no intent on staying in touristy Las Palmas (Gran Canaria), we spent just one night there hopping on the ferry early the next morning for the more desolate, less ... read more

Got away for Easter to Lanzarote. Went diving and on a submarine. Came back home to storm damage to the garden. Fence and pot plants damaged but not too bad. I started a new job with NHS England over seeing the whole of London. Other than that not much happening.... read more

Co wpis, to z Teneryfy. Muszę coś z tym zrobić. Ale jeszcze nie teraz. Teraz mamy 10 dni wiosno-lata, ośmiornic i wina afrutado. Ryanair, który w sumie jest całkiem spoko, gdyby nie brak tych kieszonek na plecach foteli, co rozumiem, że pomaga szybciej sprzątnąć kabinę, ale jest kosmicznie niewygodne dla pasażerów, doleciał w błyskawiczne 5h, wiedziony jakimś dobrym wiatrem. Zaopatrzeni w smażonego kurczaczka, książki z naklejkami, kredki i kolorowanki plus kupną ryanową Lavazzę całkiem przyzwoicie przeżyliśmy. I powitał nas piękny widok - nadlatywaliśmy od strony Los Gigantes, oblatując Teide, na którym dużo jeszcze leży śniegu. Aż zdjęcie zrobiłam. Są z name dziadkowie, więc mamy nadzieję na nowe odkrycia - wycieczkowo-kulinarne, bez dzieci. W piątek zaczęliśmy klasycznie: plaza w Los Christianos, paella, papryczki z Padron. Czwartek i piątek to tutaj największe wielkanocne... read more
