Winter Sun in the Canaries - Tenerife with Darren, Leo & Isobel

 Winter Sun in the Canaries

The sun was shinning and we knew that meant one thing....a pool day! The hotel facilities were amazing and we all loved practising our swimming and playing games! 

We were so excited for our day at sea hoping to spot  some dolphins and whales! We boarded the boat, greeted by the sight of vibrant fish and crabs among the rocks as we set sail.
 

Almost immediately, we spotted a playful dolphin leaping alongside a group of kayakers. Further out to sea, we encountered a sea turtle, gracefully gliding next to our boat. The real magic happened when the Captain announced the sighting of Pilot Whales! We watched in awe as the majestic creatures swam around us. We then dropped anchor near the beach, where we had the option to dive into the sea for a refreshing swim. 

 It was all aboard the bus for our day trip to Mount Teide, Tenerife's highest peak. After a scenic drive through quaint villages, we arrived at Teide National Park, with its dramatic volcanic landscape. We took in breathtaking views from 12,188 feet above sea level and snapped countless photos. Our journey continued with a visit to Garachico, a picturesque village with rich history.


Another glorious day so we decided it was the perfect day to hit the beach! We found a cosy spot with loungers and parasols, slathered on sunscreen, and let the day unfold at a relaxed pace. Some took a refreshing swim, while others basked in the glorious sunshine.

We simply loved our evening's out. Especially at one of our favourite bars where we met the King of Rock - Elvis! We danced and sang along to his greatest hits! We sure love to party. 

A mocktail was always welcome! Who doesn't love a paper umbrella?! 

We enjoyed some friendly competition in the games room and it was great to see everyone cheering each other on.
