Europe » Spain » Canary Islands » Tenerife April 11th 2008

At this moment I am in Portugal, but in a few weeks I am going to change my city, during some days to Tenerife. Tenerife is a Spanish island in the Atlantic Ocean. I am going there to spend some time, take some sun and practice some sport: like parapente. It such a lovely sport and in that wonderful island it is even better. The other thing that I am not loosing is to try papas arrugadas. I have already been there but it was a long time ago. I really enjoy my trip there, the weather is so nice, and the water is during every year. Now I am going there alone and I am already looking for vuelos Tenerife and enjoy, one again this wonderful trip. ... read more

Heyyy everybody - Sorry it's taken me so long to post up all of these pics - it only lets you do 50 at a time (which takes a while), and then I wanted to add captions for pretty much all of them. I'll post the Italy pics right after this though, I promise. Here we go:... read more

The weekend was too relaxing. We left Wednesday night and didn´t get back until Sunday night. (no school on Wednesday for Andalucia Day) The first full day was just hanging out on the beach. The temperature was good, but it was too breezy for frisbee. Luckily Brad brought a football which got a lot of use. The food at the hotel was pretty awesome. One night there was pork roast, fried chicken, and steak. Needless to say we ate very well. That night we went to the discoteca in the basement of our hotel which was pretty funny. 7 of us went down and brought the total capacity up to 11. We stayed for like 2 songs. The next day we slept in, ate breakfast and spent a good chunk of the day alternating between laying ... read more

Helloooo! Sooo I´m going to have to make this a semi-quick entry since I have to leave to get home for lunch in about 10 mins (p.s. I´m starvinggg).... So, Canary Islands was a blast! We had a flight out of Sevilla at 11pm Wednesday night so we ended up getting to our hotel at about 1:30am. We booked our trip through the travel agency Discover Sevilla and I was really impressed with how organized everything was. We had pre-paid for most of the trip ... so when we got to the airport we had a bus waiting there for us with a tour guide that took us right to our hotel. When we got there, there was a woman at the door telling us to check-in and then come to the dining room if we ... read more

Europe » Spain » Canary Islands » Fuerteventura February 8th 2008

Still suffering from the harsh reality to returning to the world of work in London winter I really needed some sunshine, and after a bit of a hard slog/flu etc a tonic was required. So my friend Graham and I decided to get away somewhere where we could escape the fast lane but not have to fly too far or spend too much money. And in the end with Fuerterventura we made a very good chocie. We flew in with First Choie Holidays from a dreary Gatwick (just get on as late as possible as there is so little legroom) and it's only a four hour flight. Transferred over to the north eastern town of Corralejo. There a few 'resort' style places here but there is enough of the town to retain it's own identity. We ... read more

So, the hotel is just perfect! Last nights inclusive dinner was a bit iffy but still filled me up.. regardless of all the strange stares... noone comes alone to this place.. its all 65+ or 19yr olds trying to get drunk for a week straight.. and tattos (there is a tatto parlor downstairs..). After dinner I retired to my room due to the fact that the only thing to do here at dark is go to clubs or bars. I watched bewitched on my pay for the minute TV.. niiice and hung out on my balcony watching all the drunkerds. I woke up this morning feeling very refreshed and headed straight for the beach.. after paying to lay in the sun for a few hours i had lunch at the hotel.. less stares this time. The ... read more

Primi giorni di sole. Tenerife non sono i Caraibi, ma già la differenza con l'Italia è immensa. Per la verità l'inizio non era stato troppo incoraggiante con ritardo di tre ore nel volo da Barcellona e, contro ogni pronostico, pioggia all'arrivo sull'isola. Mi alloggio da Elisa che ormai da anni vive qui. Per certi versi la invidio: non so se avrei le palle per fare quel che fece lei: un taglio netto e via. E ora tiepidi inverni in spiaggia e poco stress. Spero stiate tutti bene. Un abbraccio. ... read more

Fuerteventura 12th - 15th January A special girly weekend for me and Katie, to chill out and enjoy some special "girly" time together. We stayed at the Suite Hotel Atlantis Fuerteventura Resort, in Corralejo. It was a really lovely hotel the pools were heated so we even squeezed in a couple of relaxing swims!! The weather was perfect, lovely and sunny and warm. We had alittle rain on the 2nd afternoon, but it was still warm, so we went for a walk on the beach, and paddled in the sea. The sand dunes nearby to Corralejo, made the beach area really nice with pale blue sea and white sand! It was lovely and quite, so we just chilled, chatted, gossiped and chilled some more. We made some final arrangements for our departure to Oz and managed ... read more
