Where is my Sangria??

Hola!
For those of you that regularly follow my blog, you will know that i have just returned from a wonderful weeks holiday in the winter sunshine of Fuerteventura. We had a great time!

The weather was in the high twenties every single day and the sangria and pina coladas were flowing like the waters of niagra, we couldnt fault our villa, absolutely huge with 2 terraces and the staircase was outside! (beware after a long night, spiral staircases are not friends!) As mentioned, i went wih a group of friends, 2 guys and 2 girls and we were on holiday on an all inlcusive basis, therefore the food wasn't exactly amazing, however for the amount of money I paid i thought it was excellent value. I mean i was eating 3 or 4 courses 3 times a day for a week, and we absolutely made the most of our all inclusive drinks!

On my blog previously, I told you about the beach and i was expecting it to be absolutely beautiful.  Well, it wasn't- It was INCREDIBLE! I can honestly say that the beach was faultless, it is 32km long, really wide, absoluetly peaceful and the sea was just stunning. really shallow, perfect waves and completely turquoise. I would reccomend the Canary Islands to anyone as they really do have something for everyone, and for about 335 days a year, fantastic weather! For example, we were in a really quiet, very chilled and scenic resort on Fuerteventura called Jandia (abolsutely wonderful for sea front walks either on the beach or across the promenade) here there were wild chipmunks you could feed in the sand dunes and lovely little parrots living in the palms across the beach front.

 

 Here is our group and the view from my bedroom with the El Faro de Morro Jable in the centre ( lighthouse)

And below is a photo i took along the beach directly infront of the hotel, see- i told you it was amazing!

One day we took out our hire car and headed for a day (and night out) we called our little VW POLO "Carlos" and he served us well, we past through the very barren, uninspiring secnery across the centre of the island and were bound for Lanzarote! Along the way across the island, we stopped in the national park just outside of Corralejo in the north of the island, Here another AMAZING beach where it is like being in the desert, the sand stretches inland for miles and extends out to sea to make the most incredible beaches, heres a few photos of it, excuse the slight silliness. I was on my holidays...

So after running around the sandunes for a while, we headed into town to find the ferry to take us to our neighbouring, busier island LANZAROTE! So after the vast white sand beaches and chilled out bars of Fuerteventura, we were struck by little coves and busy towns in Lanzarote where we went to act our age for a night and hit the strip across Puerto Del Carmen. It sure was lively but by the next morning, we were definiitely ready to go back to our peacfl and quiet resort with all the holiday makers asking us "What are you four doing down here?" Well, as i repiled to all of them, "We are young, we DO like to have a good time. But we like nice things and have taste, thats why we are not in Faliraki right now." We just wanted a relaxing holiday and it was perfect for that.

So ultimately, I had a great holiday, It is sad to be home, but its nice to come back to work and plan my next one. Im thinking about booking onto P&O Azura on a carribbean cruise in the early summer. We shall see...

But as I said earlier, Where is my Sangria? I can always pretend I am still there.
