Largin' it in Tenerife

Well, with work only 10 days away it's time to fit in a quick holiday. So where's cheap and cheery for a relaxing/lively break at this time of year? Yup, the classy Playa de las Americas in Tenerife!














Get out of the 'brits on parade' and there are some really nice areas in Tenerife, the 'El Teide' volcano being a magic day trip... 3700 odd metres, so don't try climbing this one!















Lozza had a good time too!

In da Wales

Easter in Wales eh! 6 of us headed of to Lllandudno for the weekend to get out of the city and breathe some fresh welsh air.

We climbed Snowdon (all 1085m of it) in under 2 hours up the Pyg track, which offers pretty damn good views, especially from the summit. Although it was a bit weird sharing the peak with about 50 other people!

Over the course of the weekend we sampled some welsh 'Oggie' (like a cornish pastie but with proper steak), visited some castles, ate lots of italian and did lots of walking.

Stayed at a nice B&B for 22 quid a night, which we can happily recommend. I really like Llandudno.... and Wales....
