- Lauren leaving for home/taking pictures

-------------------------------------------------------
From Monday 28th until Wednesday 30th my part of the family (5 of us) stayed at our aunt and uncle's house and it was pretty enjoyable.
The weather was great, lots of beer to be had, played some golf with my dad and brother which is worth mentioning.
Where we played golf was beside a bar my dad used to work in (the course and the bar were at one time a joint business but is no longer)
My dad, brother and I were looking forward to having a round of golf and then going to get some drinks from the bar but disaster struck, mainly for my dad, as we found the building was due to be demolished.
I knew my dad was quite upset by this, it also showed in his game coz he didnt play too well on the course.
You see, this building is really important to my dad coz he was living above it when he met my mum for the first time, would be nearly 20 years ago now, i think.
He didn't show much emotion but you could tell he was pretty unhappy to say the least at the site of the building. He took a few pictures of it and drove off saying nothing more than "It's a sad day when that bar goes bust"
Later he drank lots of whiskey...
He let me have some tho :P
Anyway, not much else happened while in London. We did book our last-minute holiday from there however, 1 day before we actually set off (my mum, sister and I) and we departed pretty early on the Thursday morning (1st July)
The journey was pretty unevenful too except my ears hurt like hell coz of the pressure, normally when coming into land. Any of you guys get that? Oh, its awful :/
So not long after we landed, we arrived at our hotel and the apartment was ok but coz we got this last minute deal rather cheap, who were we to complain about the standards?
Well we had a little moan but it really wasnt anything special. The toilets i didnt really like, the room only had one light so it was quite dark. The beds weren't too comfy either, and the complex's computers were, to say the least... shit lol. I just tried away from them and avoid hassle tbh.
Here are some pics of the apartment :
There were four pools in the whole complex we were staying in and our closest one was the quietest and probably best of them all :
(bit cloudy there)
The local shops also sold this beverage which you may recognise :
Doesn't tatse as good as you might think, Homer has crap tatse in beer :P
Due to being worn out after all our travelling we just had a lazy few hours, explored the complex, found there was FREE BEER on tap at the complex's bar and played some cards.
Games of cards became a nightime ritual, with the family game of Monkey being played at least 3 times a day, i would guess :P
These games also were played with a beer in hand as a little nightcap :P
We always called it a night after playing cards.

The next post really goes into how Lanzarote itself actually was so watch this space :)
Sorry again for the delay on this post, next one should aarrive quicker.
Oh and, im not bothered too much about the comments, its just for posting about something like this (over a few separate posts) you really need to read all of it to get into it, if you know what i mean. I can't really tell who is reading if not many comment. But anyway, just as long as i know people are reading ^__^
Blah, couldnt quite phrase tht the way i wanted to and i can't really be bothered trying again :P
Hugs,
Rowan
