Island Hopping

Another day, another Dorada (other beers are available, and to be honest we have sampled most of them); this brings to a close our winter sunshine warm up trip. A couple of weeks in Tenerife back at my old haunt, visiting my old bar and getting a holiday hair cut, followed by a quick island hop over to Gran Canaria for a couple of weeks exploring many of the coastal towns from the east to the south-west of the island.

Lots of good walks, plenty of hot sunny weather, too much food, too much beer and just the right amount of relaxation. We think the Canary Islands would make a suitably pleasant annual wedding anniversary retreat, except when we have other furry friend commitments. Speaking of which, we are straight back into our new vocation as full time dog sitters shortly after we arrive back in the UK.

Just a couple of months before the start of our highly anticipated American Adventure we are lucky enough to have time for a lovely rural dog sit near Cambridge first before jetting off again. I will save the USA stuff to blog whilst we are over there but we do now have our final itinerary in as far as places to visit. We will decide what to do in each town or city as we get there, there is no point in planning everything in advance otherwise it isn’t going to be as spontaneous and exciting as we want it to be.

I will keep this post short as the last 4 weeks have really just been a relaxing time walking on beaches and exploring the islands; not much more to report. However I would like to say ‘hola’ to a few of you who have contacted us recently, everything from helping out with hotel recommendations in Niagara, booking re-sits for dogs and to new friends that have invited us to call in and visit as we drive slowly back up to the north-west of the UK.
