Fuerteventura

Posted on by

Fuerteventura!Some time ago we went on a little trip to Fuerteventura, a nearby island. The island was the absolute paradise for beach lovers. Gigantic white beaches and an ocean so clear! Together with some nice sunshine. In addition to the beaches the island does not have a lot to offer. There are lots of goats and you can eat some nice goat meat prepared in a traditional manner and there are some fishermen, but the most important parts of the island are the sun, the ocean and the beaches.

Backwards in the plane!The trip on the airplane was very nice. There are small airplanes flying between the islands without jets but with old fashioned propellers.

From the airport we had to walk over the runway to our little plane and on the return trip we entered the airplane as one of the first passengers (thanks to my Dutch desire to arrive on time). This time we took our seats in front of the plane, which had two seats facing backwards, Yes, it was my first time flying backwards. The experience was not so special as I had imagined, and I only noticed a strange sensation during the landing which pushed me into my seat, but it was nice to be in the perfect spot for chatting with the stewardess. 😉

Here are some pictures of our weekend in Fuerteventura!

Shout, shout, let it all out

During the Easter weekend we went and visited Tenerife. The visit ended up being a very Spanish event because we had only arranged the crossover by boat. We did not arrange any place to sleep on the island. Getting lodgings was done on a very Spanish way. First be would be traveling all day long, being the tourist and seeing the sites. Then, at night, at the last moment we went and search for some place to stay. To my surprise this did not result in problems, except for one day.

We had arrived is a small town where we wanted to spend the night, but there was no hotel in the town. We continued our trip to the next town, and after talking to the locals we visited some homes that could potentially house us for the night. We were not so lucky. There was no place anywhere. In the next town a Easter parade blocked our way and we asked a local police men for some advice and this started our real adventure. The police men turned out very helpful.

First we went to the police station. The police officer called about 8 locals he knew would sometimes rent out apartments. In the mean while he told us there was a hotel in town, but it was a bit expensive. Eventually we went in the police car visiting a couple of places where they might be able to shelter us for the night. We were driving through town with the cop calling and using his communication devices. The police men even gave us some tips about places to eat and things to visit. Eventually we found a place.

The only bad thing was the next morning. No breakfast but we did get a wake up service. From 8:30 till 10 we were forced to enjoy the song ‘Shout‘ that was being listened to by some big fan, and who repeated the song over and over.

It was a very nice weekend in Tenerife.

De verhuizing

Posted on by

De eerste paar dagen in ons nieuwe huis zijn goed bevallen. Alhoewel Ana flink aan het schoonmaken is geslagen is het huis best netjes. De meest in het oog springende veranderingen zijn:
· Veel meer licht
· Geen herrie van voortrazende auto’s
· Het knopje voor het licht in de keuken is nu op de juiste plek, en niet meer aan de verkeerde kant van de deur
· De wc-bril blijft gewoon staan en valt niet meer steeds omlaag (dit viel vooral mij op)
· Geen parkeerproblemen meer
· Een bijzonder prettig balkon!
· Stukje kleiner.
Zie ook de foto’s van ons oude en nieuwe huis.

Van:
Fernando Guanarteme!
Naar:
Lope de Vega!

Pa en ma in Gran Canaria

Posted on by

Allemaal op bezoek in Gran Canaria!Pa en ma zijn gezellig op bezoek geweest. En tegelijkertijd ook de ouders van Ana en de collega’s Miguel, Alexander, Carmen en Atocha. Gelukkig niet allemaal de hele week, maar toch was het af en toe flink druk. Gelukkig is het nu weer wat rustiger. Een aantal familie-playa-foto’s staan in mijn fotoalbum.

En ja, ik weet dat mijn huidje een lichtgevend witte kleur heeft, maar dit ben ik langzaam aan het veranderen.

Foto update:
Kerst in Madrid!Wat oudere foto’s van de warme zonnige kerst van vorig jaar in Madrid staan nu trouwens ook online. Kan je zien waarom mijn ouders zo goed bruin zijn. Die zitten zelfs met kerst in de zon.

A wireless connection is ideal. Except if the wireless connection is your neighbors and you are using it without him knowing about it. In this case all you can do it hope it will work. If you loose your connection there is nowhere to complain about it.

At my current location the wireless connection is usually very bad (Muy baja), but today was an exception and the connection was suddenly very good. A perfect moment to post my pictures from Madeira!

Wit

Voortgetrokken!‘Wit’ was hetgeen wat direct in mij opkwam bij het zien van de fotos van mijn bootavontuur. Ik ben echt extreem wit, terwijl ikzelf toch echt het idee heb dat ik een stuk bruiner ben. Van andere mensen hoorde ik ook al dat het lijkt alsof ik rood-achtig haar hebt, maar dat is helemaal godsonmogelijk. Nou ja, zal wel aan al die foto’s liggen.

Alle leuke dingen zijn gelukkig vastgelegd. De coole boot, het zelf sturen, het aanmeren bij Annies, de voortsleping en het politie incident.
