I’d taken my case to work with me the previous morning as I didn’t want to risk anyone from the block seeing me leave with it. My taxi picked me up along the way and we went to Manchester airport from there. The plane was on time and I had a good flight, we arrived Arrecife 7.50pm and I had a taxi take me to my accommodation. I reached my hotel just before 9pm so I was in time to get dinner before the restaurant closed, I enjoyed some meat and spaghetti and chinese vegetables. My first day I spent by the pool, it was very hot and the pool was freezing. After my shower I went to have a drink at the bar before dinner, I was sitting on the benches outside when I met Lesley, she was going back to her room and stopped for a chat then came back as her partner was still sleeping, so we had a couple of drinks. She said they were going out later and invited me to join the them. I met Lesley, Mick and their two friends in the bar after dinner, we had a few drinks there then went to a few bars round the square, we had pizza after Legends then got back to the hotel about 3am, we had a great night lots of laughs and I really enjoyed myself The next morning I had a bit of a headache when I woke up, I went for some breakfast then went back to bed. After lunch I sunbathed by the pool. After dinner there was a dance show on in the evening, 2 females and a male dancer. Some of the dancing was odd, quaint and quirky. Friday, I went to the beach after breakfast then came back for my lunch and spent the afternoon sunbathing by the pool. After dinner I met Lesley and Mick in the bar we stayed until it finished 11.30pm then went to Legends Saturday, I felt ill until about 12.30, I didn’t even drink my drinks at Legends Sunday, Lesley and Mick went to the market, I went the beach after breakfast until lunchtime the spent the afternoon by the pool. I met Lesley and Mick after dinner, we sat outside to have our drinks. Monday, It was Lesley and Micks last day, we went to the Hotel Beatriz, very impressive, we had a wander round and took some photo’s then had a walk before going back to the hotel for lunch and a couple of hours by the pool until it was time for them to leave 2nd week, Tuesday, It was cloudy when I got up to go for breakfast so I went back to bed until 12.30. I had an hour by the pool then went the beach after lunch until 5pm. Had my dinner then went to bed early. The next 2 days there was a change in the weather, it was cloudy and very windy, I still went to the beach but was sand blasted so got a sun lounger and didn’t have any problem then. I met a family the Friday evening, Lizzie the grandmother told me to join them. Saturday, I went to the beach it was still windy but more sunny, I met Lizzie her daughter Nicky and the rest of the family in the evening. Sunday, I spent all day on the beach again, the wind had dropped and it was sunnier, it went really lovely and the ocean was tranquil now, though it was exciting when those big waves came crashing Monday, It was beautiful I had a lovely day again at the beach. I met Lizzie, Nicky and her family after dinner. The evening entertainment was a comedy dance duo, I’d seen them when I was at Puerto del Carmen the year before too. It was a good night and I enjoyed watching them again. Tuesday, my last day Again my plane was on time and without any problems. I arrived home about 2.15am Posted in Holidays | No Comments »

Lesley sent me a message, did I feel as bad as her, I’m glad it wasn’t just me. I sunbathed by the pool in the afternoon, I didn’t see Lesley or Mick. after dinner it was the bird show, which I’d seen when I went to Puerto del Carmen the year before.
The evening entertainment was rock guitar legends band, I was invited for a drink afterwards with some people, we went to Cactus Jacks, it was 3am again when we got back.
