The day started with a 3am alarm. Far too early for both of us but gives a good 9:30am flight from Glasgow.

We had an uneventful journey to the airport apart from getting ripped off at Gretna services – 2 coffees a pack of aspirin & a sandwich £15. Won’t be going back there !

At the airport security was packed but quite efficient. After security it was off to Spoons for the standard pre-flight breakfast. Shhh don’t tell my mother, I don’t think she’s approve…

A quick look round Smith’s revealed some interesting reading… Think I’m gonna read this one.

The flight was 4 hours and went without incident. My phone GPS worked so I killed some the looking where we were and how fast we were going.

The transfer was quick & the hotel seems ok. We dumped the bags & went for a wander to stretch our legs. Puerto del Carmen is very touristy and we kept seeing places like this so I’ve a feeling dope is legal here…

Had a nice walk down to the harbour & saw cats and ducks living in harmony…

Anyway it’s been a long day so it’s off to the hotel for our “All inclusive” feast. I’ll let you know what it’s like tomorrow…
