Lanzarote, Booked!

So I've finally booked my summer holiday!!

I set out on my mission to find the perfect week away back in March, and after a gruelling 2 months of on and off research, I've found it! Well, it's not perfect - we had high hopes but a restricting budget and fairly large party of people stopped us from having it all. 

We managed to find an 8 bed villa in Costa Teguise, the volcanic island of Lanzarote. So we are guaranteed privacy, our own pool, own BBQ, and outside seating to eat at in the evenings. And of course guaranteed sun! Lanzarote is hot all year round, particularly in Aug! We have been to the resort before (although we didnt want to return to somewhere we'd already been, us 'kids' were very young and my mum loved it so we're all happy to play it safe) so we know we won't be faced with horrendous chavs everywhere like a lot of package holiday resorts. I found that my hardest task - finding somewhere affordable, that wouldn't neccessarily require hiring a car, WITHOUT roudy british chav families. There's nothing worse than going abraod for a change of scenery and relaxation and being surrounded by just the type of people you left England for. Tropea in Italy was our first choice, but once tallying everything up it was a little too much over budget, despite it looking devine. Maybe next year.

8 weeks to go! Cannot wait for some sun and pure relaxation.
