Mr. & Mrs. Vandebilt + kids

Our last couple of days went basically the same as all the others. We finally hit a few days of really nice weather and we soaked it up as best we could.

The kids spent some more time at kids club while I spent some more time recharging poolside. The resort we are staying at is on the north coast of the island. There’s a beach about a 20 minute hike from the villas. One of the mornings while the kids were at kids club I took the opportunity to go check it out.

There’s an almost path to get from the hotel to the beach. It definitely looks like it’s been walked a few times but there are places where it disappears for a few metres before picking back up. I got about halfway there when I realized I didn’t have my phone, no one knew where I was and I have no idea if there’s anything that lives in the rocks and bushes that I wouldn’t want to meet. Thankfully it was an uneventful journey.

The beach itself is quite rocky, but still very pretty. It’s got lots of volcanic rocks, tide pools and crashing waves. It’s clearly a popular surfing spot. It probably wouldn’t be a top choice for a beach day, but it was very pretty. Kayla and I went back to check it out again and gathered some fun shells and coral. There was all kinds to choose from.

Our last full day we headed back in to town to try for another beach day. We weren’t as lucky with the weather but still had a nice day. I’m he Canary Islands portion of the adventure is now over and we will part ways with the Cookson clan as the kids and I do some train trips to the north and south.
