Lucana Playa del Ingles

... far more food than when Paul did the trip last time...I wonder why that is?? Hope the boat doesn´t sink.

Sorting out all the food into individual days/meals wasn´t so much fun, particualry as we had to remove all cardboard and labels from tins because cockroaches lay their eggs there. The last thing we need is a cockroach infestation in the middle of the atlantic! We have some really yummy meals planned....pasta with tinned ...

... our friend Rodney then got the 2pm bus to the airport was quite worried about the flight because in England they had really bad weather and 70mph winds all week however the weather clear by the time we flew back :-D
Our flight left 15 mins late however we arrive 15 minutes before schedule and England was very cold Bring on April for my year of Backpacking :-)

Today we decided to get a bus to Las Palmas, the first bus stop was the wrong one so had to walk to another bus stop!!



Got the bus and arrived at the station and realised we had got off a stop to early so had to walk about 2 miles to the next one but had a bit good exercise:-)..

Today is my birthday and first thing in the morning i opened my cards.
we walked to Maspalomos first thing in the morning and once we got
there we followed the signs to the Camel rides :-)

We got there
and it was quite cheap 12 Euros for a half hour ride through the sand
dunes but they had a sign saying you had to leave yourbag there and
have no belongings on you which i didnt trust because it was all ...

... then went and draged josh out of bed and we walked up the beach 5 miles to Maspalomas, i was swimming in the sea most the way and fighting against the waves which were really big and strong and kept nearly knocking me over.
Early night tonight then it will be my birthday 2moro :-D hoping to go on some sort of boat trip in the next couple days..

... in Maspalomas and looked about the shops didnt
buy anything though all designer shops and cost bout 60 euros for a
t-shirt.. The temperture is 30 degrees and there is not a cloud in the
sky. Got a bus back to the hotel which was a good price. Then went to
reception and they changed us to the 6th floor with a sea view made so
much difffernce and am so happy now cuz josh has stop being grumpy
about it lol .

Adios

... primeira viagem como namorados, já foi com sogros :D. 

 O David só chegou lá dois dias depois de mim, pois esteve a fazer um trabalho de verão bem chatinho, ao qual eu me orgulho muito, da sua paciência. Mas depois dele chegar, foi tudo muito bom. Tivemos um grande quarto só para nós com tudo o que tinhamos direito, inclusive um closet e vista para a piscina e para o ...

... 17 anos, sair com os amigos todas as noites até ser de manhã, ficarmos todos juntos e todas as coisas que se fazem na viagem de finalistas.
Foi ai, que conheci o David. (Conheci, como quem diz, comecei a falar com ele. Porque já o conhecia há anos.)
 
Desde logo ficamos grandes amigos. Nessa semana até fizemos os dois um piercing... Basicamente nunca mais nos largámos. :D
