Gran Canaria

Another winter week in Gran Canaria at our usual and favourite location - the Lopesan Costa Meloneras. It's a nice big 4* hotel with great pools and plenty of pleasant palm tree shaded space around the pools. Also lots of activities every day from crazy golf to shuffleboard. Nice restaurants nearby on the promenade.

We didn't venture very far from the hotel. On our one attempt to escape to the capital city the bus journey was so twisty and windy that Hannah was ill after about 45 minutes and we had to jump off the bus and walk back to the hotel (although we ended up getting a taxi after Cherry twisted her ankle).

A nice easy break and good to get away from the horrible weather.

Walk John Muir Country Park

A walk of around 6 miles from Foxlake through the John Muir Country Park to the Bridge to Nowhere and back. Lovely sunny morning but cold. Had lunch at the Waterside Bistro in Haddington afterwards.
