“We travel, some of us forever, to seek other places, other lives, other souls.” – Anais Nin

PART TWO

A road trip to a nearby village
If we were Vikings, we’d certainly pillage
A quaint little place
A while everyone stays
But later it’s time to set sail
And back to the resort trail

“Vamos a la playa!”

PART ONE

Into the harbour and down to the beach
Plenty of scenery if that’s what you seek
Blue skies, sunshine and warm weather
How could the holidays get any better?

A stroll around down town
A Lidl and a few shoeshops found
Time for a scenic break
Before to the road we take

Down to the busy harbour
Checking both port and starboard
Both filled with tourists a flocking
Guess it wasn’t shocking
After all, a pleasent place
A seashore the perfect interface

The skies the colour of blue
Clouds fluffy, but far and few
Sun shining ever so brightly
The pool beckoning and inviting

The dwellings painted in white
This definitely is our “campsite”
Home away from home for a week
What else could one want or seek

This week’s World Wide Wednesday presents you the Island in the Atlantic Ocean, Lanzarote:

Arid Lanzarote, one of the Canary islands off the coast of West Africa, is known for its year-round warm weather, beaches and volcanic landscape. East-coast resort Puerto del Carmen has whitewashed villas, a harbor and dive centers. Caletón Blanco is a string of northern coves with calm, clear water for snorkeling, and Famara beach has cliffs for hang gliding and surf schools.

Our little journey on the island was set in the small village of Puerto Del Carmen. Some fifteen minutes’ drive from the Arrecife Airport, also known as the Lanzarote Airport. The narrow, but good roads along the coast, were easy to navigate. Never mind google maps on your mobile phone, just follow the street signs and you are there! The island itself was not a big one, everything a short distance away. A week’s worth of relaxation and sightseeing dead ahead!

Christmas Celebration in a Different Style (Daily Photo 2015-12-27)

It’s a bike?
It’s a trike?
No, it’s a Super bike!

Three wheels
Check out
How it feels
Ride a trike
It’s just like a bike
Only much more
Fun!
