El Cotillo, Fuertaventura for Xmas

A well needed break over Christmas and new Year brought us to the Canaries again. If it ain't broke, don’t fix it I say. This time the temptation of surf took us to Cotillo on the Northwest coast. Whilst the surf was a little underwhelming and dumping, the coastline was lovely.

We all got ill, and i managed to fracture my skull in the surf, but it would take more than that to stop us enjoying ourselves. The kids spent most of their time swimming and exploring the calm lagoons.

Lovely to have mum and dad with us. Christmas without the lights and tree could have been a little flat, but there’s nothing like a Christmas swim to lift the spirits!

Nik and I have just joined the local kayak club and gone out for the 1st paddle trip of the year. Hands were numb but we were all smiles, at least til we started getting wet!

 

Good bunch of people here at the club and well-run too. Cant wait to get out again.
