Fuerteventura Vlog September 2016 – A Lovely Month
Fuerteventura Vlog September 2016 September and October are often the two nicest months here. The weather is wonderful, with generally less wind, and the Spanish holiday period is over so there are less people on the beach and no more noisy fiestas in the area.

How (Not) To Build A Timelapse Panner
How (not) to build a Timelapse Panner I like taking timelapse videos so wanted to improve them by trying to build a timelapse panner to slowly turn the camera as it takes the video to make them more interesting. To achieve this I bought a clockwork kitchen, or egg timer, which you twist to the…

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.
