we were unlucky with the weather, it was cloudy for most of the time so temperatures were a bit disappointing, but the island it’s self was very interesting, as you will see from the pictures.

Note the extra blankets…..we were issued them by the hotel, as there is NO obvious central heating in Lanzarote.
