The journey, day by day

Gran Canaria 2023 - Day 1 “We’re Getting There”

Our flight to Gran Canaria was at 1.30pm. I tried to time the valet parking and the airport lounge right when I booked it all of those months ago. We left home at around 8am as…

Gran Canaria 2023 – Day 2

We slept well last night, got ready and made our way to breakfast. We weren’t late, but certainly not early for breakfast and there was a queue, not a problem, last time we were…

Gran Canaria 2023 - Day 3

A relaxing day today, we had breakfast fairly early, about 8.30am, came back to the room to collect our pool towels and headed off. It was another hot day, the sun was very hot, so…

Gran Canaria 2023 - Day 4

Not much to report today, more of the same, resting, relaxing, sleeping. Although tonight England played Scotland in the Euro qualifiers (England have already qualified). So as…

Gran Canaria 2023 - Day 5 and 6

Not much to report over the last couple of days, pretty much the same - Resting, Eating, Sunbathing, Resting, Eating, Drinking, Sleeping…. perfect, just what we like. It was black…

Gran Canaria 2023 - Day 7

I can hardly believe we’re on day 7 of the holiday already. We’ve found our “spot” that we like that gives us some shade and some sun, it’s close to the facilities, toilets, bar…

Gran Canaria 2023 - Day 8

We had a late start to the day, and had a late breakfast - all intentional. Laura’s been a little poorly, likely to be a change in food, so we took it a little slower. Plus we…

Gran Canaria 2023 - Day 9

Adam and I went to breakfast fairly early this morning (Laura is still not feeling 100%), I was keen to check the timings, as we are going to go to Puerto Morgan tomorrow morning…

Gran Canaria 2023 - Day 10

Today was the day we decided to go to Puerto Mogán. We got up relatively early for breakfast at 8.30 as the bus to Puerto Mogán was due to pick people up from outside the hotel at…

Gran Canaria 2023 - Day 11

Just a quiet day today, after a late breakfast and a brief rest on the usual sun beds, Adam and I popped down to the shops to see if that rucksack was still there - and it was…

Gran Canaria 2023 - Day 12

We were up fairly early this morning, early enough to get breakfast, well Adam and I did, Laura kept the sun beds for us. We had the usual healthy breakfast (not), and I took Laura…

Gran Canaria 2023 - Day 13

Just a very relaxing day to day, we’ve not done too much, but we did go to the beach after dinner to watch the sun set. So, I’ll just put some of, but by no means all of, the…

Gran Canaria 2023 - Day 14

Well, this is the final full day of our holiday, if you discount the half day tomorrow and the, potential, 9 hours of travel tomorrow afternoon. As seems to be typical, holidays go…

This should be the last post of the holiday. It’s set to publish at 11pm on the last day, so I’m writing this throughout the holiday… This post is about general bits and bobs from…
