    Dance of the Pool Toys – a bit of fun!

    Dance of the Pool Toys I was working on a video which was taking longer than I expected to edit. I looked out of the window towards the pool and saw the inflatable pool toys moving around in the breeze. That provided the spark of an idea so I set the camera up and started…

    Monthly Vlog Fuerteventura July 2016

    Monthly Vlog Fuerteventura July 2016 – A Hot and Quiet Month We had no visitors during July and as it was quite hot, with a Calima too, we did very little apart from cool off in the pool. That suited us but doesn’t make for much of an interesting video. But that is life here…

    Fuerteventura Roads – What are they like?

    Fuerteventura Roads Generally the Fuerteventura roads are very good. We don’t get the weather here that ruins roads in the UK and northern Europe. By that I mean the constant freeze/thaw in the winter that breaks up the surface. I enjoy driving here as the roads are interesting with lots of bends so you don’t…

    Rock Pools at the El Cotillo Lagoons

    Exploring the rock pools at the lagoons We spent a few hours sunbathing and exploring the rock pools in the beautiful El Cotillo lagoon beaches. This was the first time we had been to the beach together for a year, which is pretty sad. We have pledged to go once a week from now on…

    Catamaran Trip

    Catamaran trip to Isla de Lobos from Corralejo in Fuerteventura We took our visiting friends on this catamaran trip, which was a great success. The catamaran holds 10, but we were the only ones booked that afternoon, so we had it to ourselves, making it even better. We motored across to the island of Lobos…

    Cofete: The Windy Road

     The Windy Road To Cofete That is windy as in “bendy” not windy as in “breezy”. Cofete is almost at the bottom of Fuerteventura and is somewhere not many people see. We took our friends on a trip down south to Cofete, which is quite a trek once you leave the paved roads of Morro…
