Back from a very nice week in Puerto Del Carmen, Lanzarote. Stayed in the Jable Apartments just 2 mins from the beach and 5 mins from the old town which made it very easy for us to escape the ‘main strip’. Weather was lovely the first 2 days but got very windy on Tuesday and Wednesday before the heatwave hit on Thursday & Friday when temperatures exceeded 30 degrees.

We didnt do anything too strenous during the week. We hired a car on Tuesday and went on the Island tour on Wednesday so we got to see the majority of the sites in the 2 days. The rest of the time we spent sunbathing which was a very welcome past-time after the cold weather we have had here lately. Lying on the beach and eating in the various Lani’s restaurants was the order of the week.

Was a really enjoyable relaxing week away and we would definitely recommend the Jable (pronounced Hab - lay) Apts both because of their location and also because they are not your typical apt block and lined a very nice little street. We had our own entrance and outdoor area so no walking down long corridors to the apartment. There was also a nice pool area which we didnt use a lot because of the proximity to the beach.

Next holiday away will be the honeymoon so here’s hoping that we will get a good summer!!!!

Us out on the Atlantic Ocean in our little pedal boat

We’re taking an early trip to the sun this year, heading to the Canary island of Lanzarote next week. Going with good old Budget Travel.

The rest of the year will be so hectic with house and wedding plans that we figured this would be the best time to get away for a break. Hopefully get some sunshine and warmth, away from the miserable weather we’re having at the moment. According to the BBC weather forecast for Lanzarote it’s around 24 to 25 degress most days which sounds good. Hopefully we’ll come back tanned and the weather here at home will have improved by then!
