Reunited (And it feel so good)



It's the last day and I am feeling blue.I am not sure what to wear but thanks to this Zara Co-Ord that I bought from Vinted last year I have all  bases covered.
Today we are meeting up with our very good friends, Sara and Niall who by complete coincidence are in Gran Canaria at the same time as us.
They are staying in a nearby resort so we catch the local bus to meet up.



Saran and Niall live in Surrey but we met on this holiday  in 2008 when our son and their daughter had a holiday romance.
We both had four children of similar ages and despite living in Surrey they were all Liverpool fans.
Over the years we met up every summer on Eurocamp sites and as the children have grown older we have remained friends vsiting each other's homes almost every year.
In 2019 we enjoyed a week in Lanzarote together and last year we went down to their son's wedding in the Sout Downs.
They are such fun and we just pick upwhere we left off whenver we meet.


It was a beautiful day to catch up and enjoy the sunshine.



I am sure there was talk of Liverpool's latest (woeful) performance!



And so the sun sets on our winter sun break.

It must be time to plan another.

Friday: Markets and Maritime Life

 

Frid


Friday and it was market day at Mogan.
Before we arrived on Gran Canaria we had been told of its beauty and we weren't disappointed.
We arrived by boat from Puerto Rico which took about 30 minutes and was an enjoyable bob along the waves by the coast.
The harbour itself is so pretty, surrounded by restaurants and pretty houses and lanes which weave around the back streets.



We alighted here in front of this beautiful blue and white port building.


We enjoyed a breakfast on the harbour watching the world go by.



I'm a sucker for a pretty door.


So pretty.


A coastal walk to cool off.

Just loved these ruggled rocks.


It had to be done.


At 1pm we took another boat out to see the dolphins in their natural habitat.

It took about an hour t get there. We stayed for an hour and another hour back.

The photos are not great on my phone but we saw so many happy dolphins showboating in the sea.


Cheers!
