After weeks of cold weather and subzero temperatures going away seemed like a perfect thing to do. So off we went to Gran Canaria to escape the evil winter. The longish journey had to be planned well so plenty of snacks and entertainment to kill 4.5 hrs flight without much disruption to fellow passengers specially those who don`t have, don`t like, or have difficulty tolerating moaning unhappy babies. Strapping them both in safety belts wasn`t such an issue, keeping them in was a different story :O) so we left the whole ritual till the last minute to a concern of a stewardess, surely she doesn`t have kids or doesn`t fly with them. Flight was ok, hours flew quickly between drawing, munching snacks and watching peppa pig stories on I~pod. Unfortunately i left Andrews headset which was a total disaster as I was 100% sure i packed them away! ah! . We landed on time then jumped on a couch that took us to our hotel. I knew we would do a package holidays at some point in our lives, thought it would be more when we reach our retirement age though he he , the dressing up in the evening , cheesy entertainment programmes and shows..are we missing something out here? luckily we didn`t get a chance to take part of any of these I think a ferry trip to Europe some years back scared us for life.... " people of the world join the love train love train love train" and " don`t blame it on sunshine, don`t blame it on moonlight" etc ..so yes we were not even tempted ...we did have a look at the posters though and could take turns if we wanted to , ah thinking back i should have taken a photo of them lol! but probably it was wise not to, that could end up with unplanned affair with an 80`something years old pensioner , rich pensioner or a gay guy!we took turns in going to sauna and acually meals too as girls were simply not interested in food and altogether it was quite stressful experience trying to shove any nutrients in their little throats. we did give up at last and finding out they were actually ok the next day , we still paid 3 visits to restaurant though, which wasn`t good for my waist line!. The area surrounding the hotel was quite quiet and some distance from town, we paid couple of visits to the beach front and playa de inglis which was amusing, still stuck in 1980`s with some german dudes still wearing mullets and black leather shorts..Nice!
