Robles Apartments Maspalomas

... pronounced Mitch-ell, Santiago, Ben, Kiros and Naira are quick and efficient.

Eden Apartments are on the hill behind the Europa centre, there is a short direct path to the complex of shops (the Netto is there) and restaurants / bars
Personal recommendations are El Brasero for really great T bones steaks and Tapas. Little Italy for pastas and Pizza. Extreemz bar for cheap beer 12noon-6:30pm (Dec 07 it ...

... layer. Within the cloud layer are dense "cloud" pine forests which are similar to rain forests. Once you drive up and above the cloud layer the sky is clear blue and the terrain is warm desert- an amazing contrast to the dense cloud forests and cool air that were just a mile back! You look back down and you see the cloud layer which looks like a solid mass of cotton below you. It reminded us of looking down at the clouds when you are in an airplane ...

One more weekend before I fly back to the UK to spend three weeks with family. On the 19th May, my other half - the driver - motoguzziman joins me in Manchester and then on the 27th we fly to Totonto where the bike is stored. We´ll need two new tyres before we can take her anywhere - but friends are ready to help us sort that out.

... she is from New York City. She works as a counselor at the school of the arts in NYC and she has been living there for seven years. She is onboard as a living learning coordinator. A living learning coordinator is a lot like a Residence Assistance (RA) in a college dormitory. The homes of the siblings I remember are New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Alaska, California and Massachusetts. We are going to try to meet together relatively often to have dinner ...

Las Palmas was the home of Christopher Columbus before he sailed to the New World in 1492. It was an interesting place to walk around for a few hours. Beautiful wooden balconies on many of the buildings, tropical foliage and lovely sunny weather in the middle of January combined for a nice day. Amazingly, I escaped without buying a single pair of Spanish leather shoes (because my luggage was already so full). Next time I visit, I'll bring an extra suitcase to completely fill with shoes.

... chatty bars and thriving port all give off the energy of a city: Spain's seventh largest. Vegueta, the oldest quarter and declared a Unesco World Heritage site in 1990, is both atmospheric and fashionable; many of the best bars and restaurants are here. At the other end of town, the sweeping arc of Playa de las Canteras is a lot cleaner than many city beaches and provides you with the tantalising ...

... talk... And then the wind stops completely. The rain start pouring, like hell, a very cold. The hands get icy, a ricard please!! And all of that in one night watch:2 hours, what a craizy world!! It's 10.30 am and cross the line of Essaouira - Marocco, souvenirs are coming back to me, nostalgy and sadness for tonight. We still have almost 300 miles to sail til Las Palmas de gran canaria. And still no wind, bloody hell!! 28th of November:

... if you don´t hear from us by Christmas send out a search party! I´m sure we´ll be fine though as Dad is very experienced (thankfully given Justin and I are still learning the ropes - excuse the pun!). We have 2 life rafts (most boats have one) and 2 emergency containers rather than the usual one - all filled with energy bars and chocolate. Justin is already planning on scoffing the chocolate as soon as we reach Grenada ...

Had a brilliant time and went on a 7 miles beach walk most days from Playa de Ingles to Maspolomas where all the sand dunes are. On the evening went to the yumbo centre where they have all the Drag queen acts which were really funny. Unfortunatly for me I kept getting dragged on stage lol.

I hated this holiday - the apartments were away at the top of the hill, beyond the Europa Centre and they were building a new hotel next door, we were told that it was only remedial work - total nightmare. The were drilling from early in the morning til sunset - but apart from that nothing would entice me back to the same area again!
