Thank you Donna (who’s on my side bar) for the beautiful graphic above. It is the third anniversary of AOL Journals on 21st August, which isn’t far away! Lots of things are being orginised to mark this special occasion. When all plans were made I was in Lanzaroté!
The weather was fantastic, though I found it cold in the evenings. I was surprised to hear it has not rained in Lanzaroté since last March! The average temperature is 27°C. It rises if there is not a breeze.
We stayed in Costa Teguise, which is a family orientated resort. It is very popular with windsurfers and people who love sports. The food was amazing – can’t complain about that, LOL!!
If you travel to any of the Canary Islands make sure you pack plenty of High Factor sun cream to prevent sunburn or peeling. On the second day mum & I got sunburnt! It wasn't a pleasant start to the holiday. But I have found a solution!! Cut a tomato in half and rub over the burnt area of skin. Unfortunately we were told this too late, but mum has tried it since and it works!!
Then on the fourth day I awoke in the early hours to the sound of the tap running. I walked across to the sink to knock it off, but it wasn’t running. The boiler had burst!! The hotel staff did not have a clue how to stop the water and had no vacancies. So at 4a.m (three hours later) we were evacuated to another hotel nearby... GRRR!!
Next day we were given a complimentary bowl of fruit, chocolates, and soft drinks. Also we were given new electrical appliances (fridge/freezer, toaster and a kettle) and three free meals in the ala carte restaurant as compensation, so we were happy with that.
Is anyone superstitious? When we got on the plane I was given seat 13, in row 13th and flew home on the 13th August. I am not superstitious but this is SPOOOKY!! LOL!!
I enjoyed my holiday to Costa Teguise but I found it boring because there were not many people of my age about and not a lot to do during the day. I couldn’t wait to get home and see all my family, friends and the people of J-Land.
Have a great weekend folks!!
