Hey.
We just go back from our two-week stay in Adeje .. the Hotel Fanabe Costa Sur.
The whole area (not just the hotel) is so clean compared to what I thought was our clean and tidy suburb of Manchester! The area has clearly been done up a lot quite recently. Seems very pedestrian-friendly with all the speed-ramps and big pavements.
And I needn't have been concerned about being hassled by the PRs and street-sellers - my all-inclusive wristband and prescription sunglasses seemed to act like garlic-to-a-vampire. I was only approached by two watch sellers in the two weeks, no-one else.
The beach the other side of the rocky walk (playa del duque?) was very nice too, some lovely looking hotels and houses all around.
We went to Siam Park, and I was fascinated by the massive modern villa perched on the top of the mountain .. looked like some kind of celeb or mafioso pad :wow:
So we're now more focussed than ever on paying our mortgage off and either relocating or getting a small place over there. I loved every minute of it, even though the weather was cloudy for 5 straight days :doh:
Oh, and even though we ate far too much, I managed to lose 5lbs with all my walking and sweating :D .. my wife gained 8lbs from lazing by the pool drinking all day :crazy:
Can't wait to come back next year. :pray:
