Day 2

We were awake early and down for breakfast just after 8am.  Provision was very much like on a cruise ship except that the corn flakes definitely weren’t and the full cream milk was like semi-skimmed and the fully skimmed wasn’t fully skimmed!  There was lacto-free milk and the hotel are excellent on food intolerances with food for diabetics, for gluten-free diets and for those with a dairy intolerance as well as others.

Must be run by an Aussie - the wine glasses are upside down

The beach!

Our first apartment in the Canaries - first floor left side

The other side - top floor far right.  It wasn't scruffy then and I don't think it had an enclosed balcony

Memories of Frank Hullock and his drunken pirate cruise day on the Jolly Roger!

Yes, by 11am it was time for a beer

After breakfast we went down to the marina, going over old haunts and looking in the shops on the way.  There’s wifi everywhere and the hotel’s own wifi is around the speed we all used to have in Worksop before we had fibre.

Eventually it was time for a beer and a rest as it was by now getting hot.  The weather is in a quiet phase.  It was murky on the webcam of the hotel’s website yesterday morning and it was murky when we go here.  This morning it was still murky with a haze all around and then the sun got out and you definitely knew about that.

Lunch was a beer and a pizza outdoors by the hotel pool and was cheaper than the local competition!  Then it was time for a siesta after all that hard work and then, after a meltdown with my laptop from which I’m still recovering, it was time for dinner.

There is a dress code for dinner, although you’d hardly know.  Again the food was very good and the drinks reasonable.  There’s entertainment each evening and we can see the stage from our balcony.
