Good morning! This weekend we've been walking in Puerto de la Cruz at night, we bathed and suntanned in Los Abrigos, drove to La Esperanza and ate in El Medano resto Bombay Babu =) Now it's Monday and it's raining cats and dogs outside, but the good memories help thinking positively and with a smile. ;)

We stayed for about 2-3 hours there, read books, suntanned, bathed and even slept a little :)

The north, though, has a different understanding of warmth and sunshine..)) 

This week is gonna be a bit hectic since I have to renew my passport for the trip to NYC we're planning for October-November this year (Woohoooo!!!!); Edu's going away for 10 (!!) days in Lanzarote, and I will visit him there for 3 days. But this time no cars - only relax and train for the half-marathon we'll be running on 7th of April in Las Galletas - come and cheer us, if you want!! =) 

Hello and Happy Sunday guys =) Here's the last part of our small Lanzarote adventure from this past January at Princess Yaiza hotel and around the island... This was the only morning we decided to go down to a beach cafe to have coffees and enjoy the beach a little, but the weather was cloudy at the beginning.. So we just kept taking pics with the gorgeous bouganiville (bougainvillea) all the time :) 

As I kept walking on the beach, I saw this man feeding seagulls - really big ones!! - with bread or smthg fishy, more likely :)

See that little roof on the left? When was there, I didn't notice it, but when editing photos I saw it and was quite surprised because that way of roof construction is more typical for Bermuda islands (I used to live & work there for three years before moving to Canaries). See this image on my Flickr for example: https://www.flickr.com/photos/marennik/3516953622/

Then he had to go back to work &shoot while I decided to use the opportunity of having a car and go exploring the island :)

Drove up to Yaiza, Los Volcanes Natural Park and Mancha Blanca where turned right to the centre of the island and found this renovated museum in San Bartolomé, dedicated to the local agricultural history, called Casa Museo del Campesino (map here). 

Hello guys, and happy Friday! We've been to our first (!!) pilates session yesterday, - at last, I know)), - a friend has recommended his gym in Santa Cruz de Tenerife so we went to check it out and it was really nice experience :) 

After pilates we went to CC Meridiano and Noodle box (sorry no pics..)), then just chilled at home.. Now heading to Puerto de la Cruz for some work and walk, then dinner - thinking of an Indian food! Yummm... And what would you have on a Friday night??) Xx 

There are moments when you feel longing for homeland and miss your family a lot.. but there're also moments of great appreciation where you are now. Tenerife is such a gift in that sense, esp when you have mornings like this, with the sunshine and warmth, blue skies, piece and relative tranquility from daily stress and hassles.. When you feel really lucky to be able calling this place your second home.. X

Next: a bit more of the beach and island exploring! Hope you're having a nice, relaxed weekend guys xoxo

Bonjour & bonsoir, long time there haven't been any beeeeeach photos here, so here you go et voila! First part of our Lanzarote trip back in January this year when Edu had to work a few days there, and I just came over to bug him a bit =P  I think he didn't mind though..))

Next will be our gorgeous hotel where we've stayed - Princess Yaiza, five stars. And the way how I was greeted by my love upon arrival... this simply can't stay untold or be forgotten, so you'll know about one of the most romantic moments in our relationships, and for me it'll stay here forever (or until this website is paid, lol) as a reminder how lucky I am to be with him. <3 

Have a fantastic weekend!! Xx

Hello hello, sorry for the absence! We just came back from running in La Esperanza with a friend with his Most.Amazing.Dog.Ever, called Bowie. They came to live in Canaries from the mainland Spain, and I've honestly never in my life seen such an intelligent, nice dog like this one. Seriously, and I'm a 100% cat person usually... but that dog has literally melted my heart (as well as of hundreds of other ppl he met on his way!). Once again thinking that the lack of a good animal respect amongst a lot of locals is a serious problem here in Tenerife / Canaries. I wish one day people will realize that dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, etc - are not a hunting target but live beings that deserve the right to be loved and to die in freedom or in beloved house, not abandoned by careless owners or shot in some stupid competition just for a joke.(((((

Anyway. We're gonna chill on a sofa now with books and teas, tomorrow is a hard day and we're tired like logs, hehe, - 12km ish today is giving quite a tiring feeling in your body. Have a great week folks! Lots of love and happy belated international women's day !!!!
