  • yep weather was extremly warm considering the previous week had 4days of Rain.

    One of the coldest days, and it was supposed to be 25degrees, i wonder how hot it was on the other days.

    We have only been to Lanzarote once a few years back for a week just before Xmas and it rained the whole week although it was still very hot.We plodded on and made the most of it and had a great holiday.

  • I stayed at Atalaya Apartments. I didnt have any complaints, especially for what i was paying. the reception ppl were always very friendly but not in a fake way.

    Find anymore of these 50quid bargain break flights, send em my way ;)

    I said one of my favourite...lol
    It would be my favourite place to buy something because its only a 3 1/2 to 4 hour flight away.
    I couldnt see myself nipping to Sydney for a weeks break for me traveling that far it would have to be NZ but his lordship wont go unless I book BC I struggled to get him on a 13 hour flight in cattle class so no chance for a 27 hour flight.

  • Break it up, nobody says you have to do the full 27hours. Do half and half, stop at singapore for a few days.

    My aim is to go back to australia some day soon

    I do intend to do NZ one day even looked at it for next year for our 30th anniversary. We want something different but wouldnt mind adding on a South Paciffic and Singapor stay I have always fancied the Cook Islands
    and I have been promised a stay in Raffles for my 30th.
    One plan is to fly out and stay in Singapor for 1 week then somewhere in the Cook islands for a week before onto NZ for a month then sail back if we can to take in South Africa. I have a large budget to play with so once flights are released I can start looking into it. It will probably be a nightmare to plan but should be fun
