Off to Tenerife!

Hey all. Tomorrow morning I'll be going with my mum, step-dad, and my best friend to Tenerife for two weeks. I'm not bringing any electronic stuff with me, so I won't be around here unless I find an internet cafe. Even with that, I won't around very much.

I'm staying in Los Christianos, in an apartment that's a fair walk from the beach, but that's a good thing if you ask me. I need to do a lot more walking... <_<

Anyway, see you guys in two weeks!

Oh, I won't. I don't want a repeat of last time. Let's just say I got blisters on my face and my back was so badly burnt and sore that I couldn't sleep on it for days. Not good. I really hope there isn't a repeat of that this year. :blink:

Haha I know how you feel.. When my family was in Gran Canaria my brothers had the worst sunburn ever.

I lied about not bringing any electronic stuff with me. I brought my Kindle Fire with me for reading but I found a few free WiFi spots around, so I can still come on every now and then to see what's going on. It won't be too often, though. I might do a couple of updates on what I've been up to if that's okay. Yesterday was long... I only had 4 hours sleep, then the flight was delayed, then I found out that the airline made people sit wherever they wanted, and and since we were quite late to board, we couldn't sit next to each other. Then there was a kid screaming for the whole journey, and I couldn't sleep at all, so the journey wasn't really the best.

Anyway, we checked into the apartments we're staying at. It's fairly basic, but I've stayed in worse. We hung around the pool for a while (and someone decided to have a dump in it

), then we went for a veeerrrryyy long walk along the beach and finally had a pizza before getting a taxi back, since everyone but myself had blisters on their feet. Today we've just been hanging around by the pool and tried to find somewhere with free WiFi, which of course, was a success.

So, that's pretty much it for now. Hope everyone's doing well.

Sounds like a great time! Tenerife is where Nelson lost his right arm, so historically, it's always been very significant for me.

Have a great vacation!

The journey is usually the most annoying and sometimes even exhausting thing when travelling but (as you proved) once being there you'll enjoy it in most cases

Glad you found wifi

More relaxed days to come I bet

Nice to hear from you during the trip. Hopefully you can continue to find wifi and give us some updates. Glad things are going as well as they are for you so far.

Yeah, it's really handy having WiFi zones everywhere. We just had an Indian meal last night and went back to the hotel and went to bed (the adults were quite drunk

). Today we're hanging around Las Americas and trying to find some scooters to hire and zoom around on.

: So far my friend and I have had a fish pedicure which was really good, and we've had a browse around the shops to see what souvenirs we can get for our friends and family.

The only downside so far is that I'm not really getting much sleep, thanks to having a really sore back from sunburn and really noisy buses going past in the middle of the night. To be completely honest, though, I'm not feeling too tired from it.

Kor · **Reply #15 on:** July 11, 2013, 10:44:15 AM

Not sure if earplugs would help with the noisy busses at night, or having a fan on blowing in another direction if it's to cold to have a fun on you.

To bad about the sunburn, I guess the only treatment is using some sort of lotion cream stuff and wait?

Sounds like overall you are having fun there.

somerandomfangirl · **Reply #16 on:** July 11, 2013, 11:23:08 AM

Yeah, I was thinking about getting some earplugs or earphones so I can listen to music instead of loud buses. I'll look out for them when I get to a supermarket.

Well, I'm putting after sun on it and keeping my back and shoulders covered with a t-shirt when I'm out in the sun. It'll go eventually. I've had worse.

Mumbling · **Reply #17 on:** July 11, 2013, 12:33:34 PM

Aww, got a sunburn nonetheless huh ?

It's too bad there area buses so close to your apartment, I don't think I'd be able to sleep with such background noise either.

Petrie85 · **Reply #18 on:** July 11, 2013, 08:56:34 PM

That's awesome that your trip is going very well. And I'm happy to see you're having a good time.

somerandomfangirl · **Reply #19 on:** July 12, 2013, 11:45:17 AM

Yeah, I had a look in the two local supermarkets but had no luck finding anything to block my ears, but I'll keep searching around for something.

Yesterday my mum and friend very kindly volunteered me to do karaoke, which was really embarrassing. I had forgotten the bridge part of the song I was singing, so right now I'm not believing anyone who says I'm a good singer. I lost pretty much all confidence in myself in the last couple of years.

After that, we had a very late dinner (11pm...) and then walked back to the apartments.

Anyway, today was a lazy day. I spent pretty much all day in the shade to help get rid of that sunburn, and we've just been out for something to eat and drink. I think everyone will be having an early night tonight.
