Lanzarote day 3

This morning we walked from the hotel along the promenade to the East as far as Marina Rubicón. We had a later lunch and again lazed around for the rest of the day.

Lanzarote day 2

In the morning we walked from the hotel along the promenade to Faro Pechiguera and then on to close to Caleta Negra. We walked back around the coast. We had a late lunch at the hotel and lazed around for the afternoon.

Home to Lanzarote

We booked our holiday to the H10 Rubicón Palace in Montaña Roja (near Playa Blanca) with Thomas Cook. The flight departed nearly an hour late so we didn’t have quite so much time as we had expected at the hotel on the first day.

Venice to home

We were up at the usual time of about 8am. We had our breakfast at the hotel and went for a brief walk in the sunshine before catching the number 15 bus back to the airport. Our flight took off about half an hour late at roughly 12:30pm. However, we made up time on the…

Venice day 3

Today started with the same routine as Friday. Once in Venice we got the ferry down to St Mark’s, changing boat to carry on to Arsenale. There we went to the naval museum shipyard (the main museum being closed for works). We looked around the various boats and then got the ferry back up to…

Venice day 2

Home to Venice

We only had hand luggage so went straight to security and were soon in departures. Our Easyjet flight…

Scotland day 8

We went for a last walk around the bay with the dogs before heading off for home. We stopped at Westmorland Services to pick up some lunch and other supplies. The run home was fine and we made good time. Everything in the garden has survived the week, with thanks to our friends up the…

Scotland day 7

We walked from the cottage along the coast and through the woods to the north. This time we found the gravestone with skull and crossbones in the graveyard at the derelict Senwick Church. We had a break on Senwick Bay beach and had our lunch on Goat Well Bay beach. We made it as far…
