Happy New Year folks! Many of you have been wondering why there have been no posts here since 23rd December 2009. Well, we all went off to Lanzarote for Christmas on Christmas Eve and had a wonderful family holiday - the weather was a very warm 26 degrees centigrade with pleasant winds coming from Africa. We spent Christmas Day at Club Tahiti where we were staying and went on two excursions - one on a catamaran around the coast overlooking Fuertoventura and the other to the Fire Mountain at Timanfaya - desolate lunar-type landscape. The children thoroughly enjoyed their camel ride too! Tom was a little hesitant about going to the Canary Islands for Christmas for a number of reasons - "there doesn't seem much to do!"; "but I won't get all my Christmas presents on Christmas Day"; "it should be cold at Christmas". However, both Tom and Mary found much to do especially the entertainment in the Club Tahiti in the evening - thanks to Lauren, Nicola and Ken especially - and thanks to Emma our member liaison officer. The food was mainly English so the children were fine with that but we did also have Canarian and Spanish options too. In fact, we even went out one evening to a Chinese buffet - really good value for money. I would recommend Lazarote to anyone wanting a guaranteed warm holiday during these cold winter months. Unfortunately the Pound/Euro exchange rate makes it a more expensive holiday than in the past but is still cheaper than the Bahamas.
