Helloooo and long time no see eh!!? We're back from our Fuerteventura trip and it still feels like a small vacation continues as it's been quiet with work, so we're just enjoying Canarian spring, meeting friends, working out, going to the beach and spending quality time at home with our much missed cats <3
Below are loads of photos (all taken on iPhone) from the magical island of sand, wind and wilderness =)
-
Leaving Gran Canaria harbor
-
Arrived in the night to Cofete beach and prepared a quick dinner with wine :) Ocean in the background just stones away.. insane <3
-
With our fantastic Chakachanchan aka Russian tank aka our home for the next few days! I'm wearing jacket that my mum gave me as a gift, and flipflops!! =)
-
First morning in Fuerteventura didn't greet us with sunshine & warmth..))
-
Brightened up a little.. Gotta love this camping life!!
-
Waited through the drizzling rain in this half open little cave
-
Had amaaaaazing brekkie there with coffee, jam & toasts..
-
The area is full of dead shells - very sad but also beautiful.
-
Went for a walk till thaaaat rock in the middle of the image :)
-
Rocks, crazy wind, wild ocean and the widest beaches, glassy as a mirror - and not a one person around. That is some kinda love <3
-
Had a 'babies' swim)) in natural pools there.. Bloody freezing but sun came out so that helped a lot :)
-
Had a camping dinner and drove to another part of the same Cofete beach (different sources saying its between 12 and 18 km long), less wild and bit more 'crowded', - ca. 4 cars in total..)), - but just as beautiful as this part.
-
Our morning view when we woke up the next day. How siiick is that?!))))
-
I went for a long walk with my earphones listening to Chemical Brothers (stuff like 'Sunshine Underground', 'Asleep from Day', 'Dream On' from Surrender album..<3 nothing too heavy) along the beach when the day was just starting, still chilly with clouds & wind but at the same time insanely beautiful, majestic.
-
My freckly, very sunburned but happy face :)
-
'I'll be your mirror..'
-
Rock formations on the beach
-
Little pools caused by low tide
-
And patterns, patterns everywhere...
-
Saw these footsteps right next to mine on the way back and wondered who that'd be..))
-
Turned out it was Edu (of course!))): he made coffee and left it on the sand for me to find, in a circle with letters... I'm the luckiest girl ever.
-
I returned to the car and we went together for a short beach run/walk and swim..
Then we had a hotel booked so, sadly, had to leave this place and drive back to reality and civilisation...
-
Met donkeys...
-
...and a funny bus on the way
...took some silly photos too)) at the lighthouse " Faro de Punta Jandia "
-
Stopped by yet another beautiful, Caribbean style beach with turquoise water, white sand and some nice silky waves
-
And arrived to Costa Calma and our hotel right on Sotavento beach - one of the most beautiful in the whole Canaries, imo
The hotel was 4**** all inclusive and 'adults only' - you can find more on Booking (will open in a new window), it's called H10 Sentido Playa Esmeralda
-
The hotel has a nice, airy decoration
-
This was the view from our balcony <3
-
This, I guess, was an old beer brewing machine.. correct me if I'm wrong please?))
-
The before..
-
..and after shower selfies, hehe
-
Went on a small detour around hotel area
-
Discovered another gorgeous beach 500m away from ours; had a swim, run, beers and more silly photos taken =)
Then came back to hotel and found out that our car was broken(((( to the point of a complete immobility, so had to deal with insurance etc.. Thank G-d, the universe and Edu's smart policy (thumbs up to Mapfre, guys!! Impressive work, they've been really helpful) its already in Tenerife and fixed by now, so we can plan our next trip and further adventures, wohooo!!! No time for negativity.. only good, positive vibes! :)
And free drinks when it's 'all-inclusive, lol :) :) X
