The week had started out quite windy and the first few days were overcast most of the time. The last few days we’ve had a lot more sunshine. This morning it was very windy again, with intermittent sunshine. We checked in for our flight online and asked reception to print out our boarding passes. We…
We walked south along the coast and popped to HiperDino Express Neptuno for Ady to pick up some aloe vera cream and sweets. When we got back to the hotel we sat on the beach. We did the same after lunch. We did build a small wind break from rocks. We went for a short…
In the morning we took a walk along the coast to the North again. Sat on the cliff top watching boats go by for a while and then returned via the track that runs slightly inland. After lunch we sat on the beach. As the tide recedes plenty of small prawns are left in the…
We went for a brief walk after breakfast before going out on a hobie cat that we’d booked for 11am. We had fun going in and out of the bay on it before I had a short stint on it myself. After lunch we hired bikes (€3 each) and cycled to the port at Arrecife.
In the morning we walked from the hotel past Hotel Beatriz and up to the lower summit of Montana Carona. The views back towards the coast were amazing. The rest of the horseshoe is quite a sharp ridge and neither of us was keen to carry on around it, especially in the wind. We walked…
We went for a short walk along the beach after breakfast. Then read on our balcony watching a guy desperately trying to wind surf. Just before lunch we enquired about hiring a catamaran as part of our all inclusive deal. We booked one for Wednesday. After lunch we took a kayak out for a while…
Asher breakfast we went for a walk from the hotel to the North. We ended up going for nearly 6km up the coast before turning back and retracing our steps. We had lunch at the hotel and sat outside for a while under the clouds. We then went and made use of the spa that…
The taxi picked us up at 0650. There was a long, slow queue for Thomas Cook bag drop. Security was fairly quick. The plane took off about 40 minutes late. We arrived a bit late at Lanzarote airport and then had to wait quite a while for the coach to leave. We arrived at Sunconnect…
