Lanzarote: My Paradise Island.

 

Hi All! So here we are back in Lanzarote!!

 

So, this is me showing you the rest of my trip to this gorgeous island!

 

 

 

 

Red Flowers that look lie the Red weed for War of the Worlds!


We had a few walks along to Playa Blanca from our hotel and there were a few things I found interesting!
 

The Watch Tower.

The Watch Tower was in place so that the guard could warn islanders if there were any pirates about to attack the island! 

Rublicon

 

Stone statues, actually made by placing rocks on top of each other!

 

Ferry Port in the Distance!

 

As I told you in my first Lanzarote post we went on a volcanic trip, but we were also taken for a camel ride and to a vineyard!!

 

Me and Mum on Our Camel!

We named him Geoffrey Leonard!!

We were told about how they grow the grapes on the island for making the wine. They build a horseshoe shaped wall around the vines to protect them from the northern winds.

One day, we decided to get the ferry from Playa Blanca over to Fuerteventura! To the Town of Corralejo.

While we were there only for a couple of hours, we visited the Market before we had to get the ferry back again!

Our last trip was to Teguise Market, which is more in land so is slightly warmer!!

Now, the next photo really had me and my dad chuckling. It's not something you see everyday!!

Last, but not least, managing to finally get a photo of the Salt Mines on the Island, while on our way to the airport!!

A year’s difference.

Hi everyone, I have been so busy lately and my creativity and inspiration is lacking a little at the minute. So I’ve decided to have a bit of reflection of the last year of my life.

 

A year ago: I was studying my STLS Level 2 to become a teaching assistant.

Today: I have qualified my level 2 and I’m studying my STLS Level 3 now, which I complete in April 2016.

 

A year ago: I was back in my shell and didn’t socialise an awful lot.

Today: I have my friends back around me and keep In touch with them as often as I can.

 

 

A year ago: I wasn’t living in the moment, I was stuck in a rut doing rather boring things.

Today: I have become slightly spontaneous and taken on the motto of ‘you’re only here once.’ I’m living for the now and doing things that I normally wouldn’t do.

 

A year ago: I was part time at work and was trying my hardest to save as much money as possible.

Today: I’m now full time and finding it easier to save and able to afford the thing in life I want.

 

A year ago: I was a little bit calmer and more carefree.

Today: Now I worry about so many things, that I don't actually need to worry about.

 

All in all, I think I have defiantly changed in this last year!

 

Thanks for Reading!
