We dropped off our hold luggage at the Jet2 resort check-in just before 9am. We also didn’t have to check out of the hotel until 12pm. That left us free to have breakfast, one last grit blasting on the dunes and a bit of lunch before our private transfer collected us at 12:40. The taxi…
We put Ellie in the carrier and took a walk along the grit blasting dunes towards the Riu hotels. The wind wasn’t that much stronger today, but was directly onshore. After lunch we walked to the supermarket next to Oasis Papagayo to get some more pouches for Ellie. Then the usual circuit back to the…
Today was a repeat of the other days. Walk around town in the morning and afternoon by the pool. We did visit the local market in the shopping centre. There were far more locally made bits and bobs than the market we went to on Tuesday. We realised that the Tuesday market was African. Which…

Today we put Ellie in the carrier and walked along the beach towards the Riu hotels. There were plenty of kite surfers to watch. A few birds around the rock pools. Plus lots of small shrimp, fish and hermit crabs in the rock pools. This year there are also a number of large kites (of…
We’re staying all inclusive so needless to say all meals will be at the hotel. After breakfast we took a walk to Corralejo harbour. There seem to be more boats than previous years and the town definitely seems a bit busier. However the work to pedestrianise one of the streets that had started when we…
This is our first holiday abroad with Ellie. We left home shortly before 8am in Ben’s car to head to Manchester airport. T2 West multi storey is very new and part of the expansion of the airport. It is quite a long walk back to terminal 1, though most of it is in the covered,…
