Apartamentos Althay Costa Calma

... have booked in Corralejo and not here because it is too far, and the only hotel near this beautiful beach is Mellia which asked me something like 800 euros for 5 nights just for B/B.
If somebody comes to this hotel they should book on a full board basis, otherwise it will cost a fortune, as there are no restaurants around the area.

Further beaches have been created parallel to some hotels and the commercial centre. These were made by creating lagoons where there was once solid rock, and then importing sand for the beach. These beaches are generally calm, and they are conveniently placed for a quick sunbathe when one is in the centre and has to do some shopping. These other nearby beaches are found to the south of the original part of Caleta.

The beaches here are considered to be the most beautiful on the island and it is from this spot here that one can take a jet foil over the neighboring island of Gran Canaria.

We want so much to get off the car and enjoy the beach here, but we move to the next stop promising ourselves to find a similar spot for swimming or return later in the afternoon.

... and came back to finish the packing. I had a lie down while I waited for the washing to dry so I could pack it. Put the last few things in then weighed the bags. Both were fine so we put them in the car. Had one last look around to make sure we hadn't left anything then drove down to Tommy's to get Russ. He dropped us off and we went in (with great difficulty, it was rammed). A lot of flights were delayed so there were big queues but I managed ...

... sign was, not the actual restaurant which was in the town...... Anyway, we went into Caleta instead to a chinese. Had a lovely dinner, I ate loads, more than I normaly would, then went in some shops for some last minute tat, booze and fags (for the lads) then came back to Russ's. Russ went staright out again (to Tommy Nutter's of course) and I did my packing. Got most things in, just stuff I need for tomorrow left. Going home tomorrow! Sad and glad.

What a **** nights sleep! Someone was playing music ALL night, literally. From when I went to bed until about 8.30 in the morning! Got up and had some breakfast and got ready for our road trip. Russ tokk the first stint at driving, to Corralejo right in the north of the island. We stopped off just before we got to the town to look at the sand dunes. We were driving along when suddenly the landscape changed from black volcanic rock to almost ...

... Nutters for a burger and chips then came back for a lie down. Me and Gaf went by the pool and had a swim for a while, to cool down. We were coming in the door jsut as Russ was going to Tommy's. Got dressed and went to the shop to get ice lollies. I sat and read for a bit then we had some tea, Gafcwent to meet Russ (and to drive him home) while I stayed in and read.

... idiots instructions" for him and left them on the laptop, in case he forgets (his memory is not so good since his strokes). Me and Gaf cooked the fish that Dave had caught and brought round with him and I did some mash potatoes with garlic and cheese. We all had nice big slices of lemon cake then I took Pat and Dave home.

... Carl made a nice curry instead. We stayed until about 10.45, by which time my legs were getting cold and Gaf's bum had gone to sleep. Came back and made a cup of tea when Russ rang to be picked up. We had just got there when his song came on on the karioke so we had to wait. Came back to the house and our tea was just the right temperature to drink. Chatted to Russ for a bit then came to bed.

... jetty and returned the stuff. Drove back to Russ's and had a quick dip in the pool. Got dried and dressed and got started on the lunch. I made an apple and peach crumble, which was rather nice. We used up the pork joint that we had bought for the bbq and we also had lamb. Russ wasn't sure how many to expect but in the end only Pete and the two girls from Gloucester came, so there was a lot of food to go around ...
