Harry and Fred in the car park
Five Days in Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain - 24th October 2021
Isobel sorts out a holiday in Lanzarote as Noddy and Da Gorls are also out there for a week. However, they have the luxury of not having to go in school half term, so Isobel heads out five days before in order to hang out with them for a while. Nosher and the boys head over in due course and just catch Noddy and Jilly for a half hour. After that, we head to the nearby Playa de los Pocillos beach, try out scooters and scoot around down to "the strip" and over to the end of the runway, find lots of tapas and even do a sunrise swim in the sea.

Fred looks around as Harry queues up
The food court at Stansted Mountfitchet services
The boys eat tea standing up
Harry and Fred prepare for an early night
We head off out of the Blue Zone car park at 5am
A long covered walkway to the airport
The boys gravitate to the Hanley's shop
Harry's a bit meh, on account of the early start
The boys on the train to the gate
Hanging around at Gate 39
Harry and Fred
More waiting around
Our plane awaits on the apron
Fred becomes a plane
The sun rises
Fred's packet of crisps has inflated
The crisps are opened
We're finally on the ground at Lanzarote
Harry's laces have unravelled again
A first view from the apartment
Isobel on the balcony
Harry and Isobel wander up the road
Fred looks for some flip flops
We get some Patatas Canarias in
Fred and Harry have got some ludicrous lollipops
The tapas bar next-door-but-one from the apartment
Someone's got a whole trolley full of water
An 'emotional training' massage parlour
Walking back to the apartment block
White-block building
Fred roams around by the pool
Noddy appears briefly
Noddy and Jilly head off to catch their flight
A lifeguard hut on the Playa de los Pocillos
Harry draws with his feet in the sand
Harry does more foot-writing
A water bottle stuck into a palm tree
The sun sets over the Spar
Harry has a snooze on Isobel
Che Guevara on a lamp post
Harry waves a palm frond around on the beach
Isobel goes for a swim as the boys paddle
Harry legs it out of the sea
We look back at the sunrise
Fred gets sand washed off his feet
We try out the canteen breakfast for the first time
Prickly-pear cactus
Some sort of shop unit
A sign to our 'aparthotel'
Fred tries a scooter for the first time
Fred and Isobel on the Avenida Maratima
We visit a tourist tat shop
Derelict shop units
The Temple Bar - one of many 'Irish' pubs
Collared doves explode into the air
The resident grey cat at Playa Chica
Harry stomps up the beach at Playa Chica
Isobel shakes sand out of a new blanket
There's a rock with MOPU on it
A dive training RIB heads out
A boy hurls himself off the pier
Wall art near Lomo Alto
We find a tapas bar in Puerto del Carmen
Our fancy tapas arrives
The fancy restaurant
An actually old building
Harry and Isobel in front of an old church
A mad jumble of building rubbish in a shop
Down at Puerto del Carmen
Cool football-like cacti
We visit the artesanal ice-cream shop
There's a cool bird in a nearby tree
We walk down the coast to 'The Strip'
There's a derelict crazy golf course on the way
More derelict Mini Golf
Fred and Isobel in an Italian restaurant
The Costa Mar Strip at night
Fred and Harry look at flying models
Another Spar is busy at night
The long walk back to the apartment
The pool is quiet in the morning
There's a parrot in our tree
Fred feeds the parrot a flower petal
Isobel gets nibbled by the parrot's powerful beak
Beady parrot eye
We find more scooters to hire
O'Shea's bin is actually on fire
Fred scoots around near the beach
Harry and Fred
The pre-runway lights are actually in the sea
A plane comes in low
An army cargo plane comes in to land
There's a small crowd at the end of the runway
Isobel and the scooters
An EasyJet 737 and some graffiti on the beach
It's a bit noisy for taking phone calls
One of Lanzarote's 109 volcanoes
A funky sculpture on the promenade
Harry buys another thing
Fred roams around looking for trinkets
The boys play with their stash of entertainment
The Sirocco Steak House Pizzeria
A self-propelled four-seat rickshaw goes by
A view of the beach from a volcano-rock tower
The lava-rock tower on the beach
An empty shop unit/greenhouse
Another empty shop with a load of hat stands
Mini cactus fridge magnets
The best 'pirces' in town
The boys get strawberry milkshakes
There's a cool sand sculpture on Los Pocillos
The Hotel California album cover
A passenger plane gets a close military escort
The Spar supermarket, open to the street
We have some tapas and piña coladas for tea
We head back to the apartment block
A donkey and cactus ride
