From Dads to Lanzarote

After an annoying trip to Piccadilly yesterday ( bought ticket for entirely the wrong day, new expensive ticket, train packed no seat res till stoke) . But a nice evening with dad and this morning he dropped me at jet park 1 for the free drop off slightly TFE so a 30 minute wait for Sam at T3
But a reasonable experience once she arrived, bags tagged, dropped and through security by 10:30. A little light shopping ( Barebells choc milk, a copy of Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid and also Pretender by Jo Harkin!Then up to the remarkably quiet and airy sports bar! Where we snacked on spam fritters and idled our time away. Early boarding - we pottered off an hour before departure to find we were already boarding and we were in the air 2 mins after our scheduled departure time. Smooth flight and slightly early into Lanzarote where the arrivals area was very quiet so despite minor issues with scanning Sam’s fingers we were through ant at the car hire desk by 5. Another Zest special - scratched from every angle and with a bent parcel shelf but small, automatic and air conditioned.
A straightforward drive to Playa Blanca with only 1 set of hairpin bends down a hill! And then to our hotel which, although Sam was beginning to twitch after reading too much Facebook, is actually very nice with good food options, friendly staff and a superior suite which gets us a separate small pool and free drinks snd snacks till 5pm!
Dinner was good, lamb, osso bucco and the usual rang of buffet bits. Hyper Dino and then bed.Read more
