Lanzarote 2011 Day Seven - An interesting day....

Pool by the Pool (does this man look like a criminal?)

Phippsy in the pool (would this man drive you to an overdose?)

It started off well enough with wanda going for her normal morning run up and down the mountains and advising us that it was still really windy! So Whilst the rest of us chilled at the villa playing pool by the pool and swimming in the pool as well as a bit of internet surfing in Mac Donalds Loz and Ray went off to vist Timanfya National Park to see the Volcanoes at close quarters.

They had a lovely time been suitably impressed by the whole set up and so much so that Loz decided a souvenier was in order. Unfortunately picking up bits of lava one side of the National park boundary is very different to picking it up 1 metre the other side of the boundary and whilst they were chilling out having lunch were duly apprehended by the "Officials"! Still diplomacy is always the best solution and the return of the offending rock to its origonal location calmed things down so avoiding a twenty year stay on the island.

Meanwhile back in the villa Kaz who had been suffering from a nasty cough and chest was steadily dosing herself up with medication from the local Pharmacy and had been doing so for the last 24 hours. Now feeling somewhat ill we took a closer look at the pills only to find out that they were 3 times the normal UK strength hence a slight overdose of the advisable quantities. To be on the safe side we took a visit to the local hospital where they tested her for all sorts and interrogated her as to why she had taken so many and thought they had worked out why when they saw me.... Still they were very accomodating so much so that that they let her stay the night.

Forecast for tomorrow looks like we may get some flying in before our evening flight if all goes according to plan, we shall see.
