... Carribean) and the crew were professional but friendly (Big Gazza and Cheryl, helped by Gary and Tracy) and down to earth. Even though it sounded very strange hearing Christmas songs whilst staring into a cloudless blue sky, and the temperature 28°C. There is a "happy hour" from 4-5pm every day with all drinks (except hot drinks )buy one get one free, spirit measures are generous and ice is safe. The bar staff ...

Hello from the Canary Islands! We have been in the Canary Islands stopping at the island of Tenerife. The Romans referred to Tenerife using the Latin word for "heaven" and now we understand why they chose that term. We approached the island in the morning around 8am and it was very beautiful and very dramatic from the sea. Tenerife has a volcano on it that is 12,000 feet tall. The peak is snow capped and very stunning with its height- especially when you ...

Las Palmas has a mainland-Spain feel, spiced up with an eclectic mix of other cultures, including African, Chinese, and Indian, plus the presence of container-ship crews and the flotsam and jetsam that tend to drift around port cities. It's an intriguing place with the sunny languor and energy you would normally associate with the Mediterranean or North Africa. The hooting taxis, bustling shopping districts ...

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 always wanted to see a camel (these were dromedary camels with one hump). They were very sweet animals. These ones were very responsive to touch and even seemed to get jealous when you paid more attention to another one. Real workers, they were ready to get on the trails. We even got to see a baby that had been born recently. I got to hand feed him. :)

... was like being in the Sahara and interestingly enough, just across the water lies the western Sahara on the northwest side of Africa. Maybe the rest of it is at the bottom of the ocean when the islands split off many years ago. So complete with sand storms, steep drop offs and the heat, we walked through the desert at Maspalomas.

Our resort... beautiful. We bought a plan that gave us three 4 course meals inculding 2 glasses of wine, your choice of red or white and a dessert wine with dessert... I've never ate so much in my life.... Our view from our room was fabulous too... We were 12 people, myself and Jacob's family. It was a wonderful weekend of sun, camels, and good food :)

... and making various comments. Normally, this would have been a cause for celebration - but unfortunately for me, it was a guy. It's possible that he could have been hitting on Ha, but this resort area is considered to be the gay capital of the Canaries. In all likelihood, it was intended for me - sigh ... why couldn't it have been a tiny Spanish hottie instead of a greasy, creepy guy? NOT giddy like schoolgirl, NOT giddy like a schoolgirl ...

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!
