August 2014: Holiday to Fuerteventura…

In August I went to visit Kristina in Fuerteventura where her and her partner had bought a home. Its a volcanic island, part of the Canary island group. The landscape is mostly volcanic rock and looks pretty bleak, but it does have some lovely beaches. Although a very windy area and the sea gets some pretty big waves which can make swimming in the sea a bit tricky. Having local knowledge Kristina knew of some areas that had a bay which made swimming a lot more comfortable. The town nearest to their house was Corralejo, once you get down to the water front its a very charming area, with lots of beachfront bars and restaurants.

Grey jersey dress. I love this one. Have to say these jersey dresses are so comfortable to wear.

I also took my Jersey T shirts, which went really well with shorts and a couple of the jersey tunics. And I took the long version of my Liberty print dress but definitely not showing the picture as my hair looked bloody awful. I think I wore something homemade everyday. YIPPEEEE!!

Now for some travel pics…….

This is my attempt at an artistic shot. The back of Kristina's house. I just loved the colour of the walls against the colour of the sky.

I never took my camera to the beach so unfortunately I have no pics of any of the beaches. Sorry.
