The Finnish Dream: The idyllic setting of living for a Finn, a cottage on an island near or in the capital area and in the warmth of never ending summer, of course!

Scenery
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

Resort
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!

“I believe you can make forces of good and evil work for you, to get what you want” GG Allin
Good vs. Evil?
They say it is good for you
Healthy type of food
You must eat it
Possibly, even enjoy it
But who can really resist
The tempting siren song
Of the sugary spawn
Of a glazed donught
They said not to touch
But I really wanted it so much
Sneaking it out
In a hankerchief no less
I must confess
I ate the whole thing
With one big bite
Just out of spite
I really, really enjoyed it

“When I was a kid, the only way I saw movies was from the back seat of my family’s car at the drive-in” Forest Whitaker
Sunny Side of the Bench
On the sunny side of the bench
No option of getting drenched
Enjoying the long, warming rays
In these unworried and lazy days
Before the days are done
Soaking in the healing sun
With closed eyes this moment
Like an image in my mind burnt
In honour of Caturday and all cats everywhere

Caturday, 2015-01-02, Part Two
The tourist of a foreign land
Came here to our strand
We let them snap some photos
And for them, strike a few poses
Scratching our backs
There is no lack
Of many a treats
Neatly we sit
Until all the pix
Are snapped
And the strangers all gone
Then we, just run along
