Half term break

Had a little trip away this half term to Fuerterventura, our first time to any of the Canary islands. It was lovely to get some warm autumn sunshine. We hired a car for the week, so that we weren't tied to just one part of the island, although public transport was excellent.
The scenery was absolutely superb and changed virtually every time you turned a corner.


Lichens covered the rocks like a green carpet!














Most of the centre of the island is barren and mountainous.




The west coast was really rugged, and the waves were great for surfing or just getting battered!






We were based in the East and so witnessed the sunrise daily as it was a very sociable 8.00.

Fab photos - and a wonderful potrayal of the variety of scenery. Glad you had some warm sunshine too. May be a long time before we feel that warm again in the UK!
