Lanzarote Photo Diary

After returning from a fortnight in paradise, my holiday blues really are starting to kick in. This is my second time visiting Lanzarote (for those who are not familiar with the country, it is part of the Canary Islands and just off the coast of Africa) and I am eager to return already! We stayed in the beautiful town of Playa Blanca and I thought it would be nice to share some photos with you.


Sadly, I can't take credit for this arty shot from the plane as we landed in Lanzarote - my Dad took this!


Let me introduce you to my sister Daisy (right) and our close friend Hayley. This was the first day - can you tell that we are all in desperate need of a nap?

Before boarding the doughnut! 10/10 for composition I think!
Getting into my darts - I scored 60 which is apparantly quite good!
Rifle shooting on the other hand, was not my strongest activity and I failed to hit the board!
Champagne toast before heading out - don't worry, I was drinking appletiser!

Lots of love,

  8. I am SO jealous of you! I have visited Lanzarote a few times so seeing this naturally brought back memories, and then you went to Fuerteventura as well! It's probably my most favourite place in the world.

    Moving on, I just want to say I really love the quality of your photos, they're so clear and full of colour! I really looking through this post, and cannot wait for your future ones.
