This time of year there's only one place to go (as we don't really do skiing), and that's to the sun.
Sun, pool, lounger - what more do you need? - apart from a cold beer!
As the chapter on the Canaries in the Friendly Planet Guide was a bit thin, we decided to research some more material, by visiting the island of Lanzarote.
It was a great choice, and our timing was impeccable, as we went when there was more snow and sub zero temperatures at home.
We stayed, along with our minders, and their folks, in 2 apartments at the delightful Holiday Bond Complex of Santa Rosa. We'd come to expect something special from a HPB property and we were not disappointed.
Just look at the amazing towel sculptures that greeted us ...
... how romantic! The flowers were real by the way.
It wasn't only in the bedroom that we were greeted by towel sculptures; they were also in the bathroom and in the kitchen ...
We did wonder if we were going to see any birds with this interesting colour scheme on the island.
Some of our readers may not be as familiar with our Bears Unlimited travelling companion, Pedro, as they are with regulars, Yorkie and myself. Pedro was our secret weapon as he's passionately Spanish - speaks the language perfectly (no surprise) and can use his contacts to get us into all sorts of interesting places, both on and off the tourist trail.
We'll be back soon to share some of our explorations of the island with you.
Lots of love
George, Pedro and Yorkie xxx
