Spring Break 2011 Islas Canarias :)






Last week was spring break, and two of my friends and I went to the Canary Islands. I went to the same island last year for spring break and loved it so much that we decided to go back again this year. And this year was even better! We had so much fun. The islands are part of Spain, but they are located to the west of Africa, so the weather is really nice. My friend and I went through almost three bottles of sunscreen!

Our hotel was very nice. Breakfast and dinner were included, and they were great! My friends and I always looked forward to the meals. They were buffet style, but there were 5 or 6 buffet bars with all different types of food. The people who vacation there are mostly from northern Europe (Norway, England, Germany, Sweden), and the ones in our hotel were all very old. We were definitely the youngest ones staying at the hotel. However, when we went out at night they were our age (thankfully).

We spent the days at the beach or pool, and then went out at night. Our hotel was about a 15 minute walk from the beach, and all the bars/clubs were about 10 minutes away. We paid 25 euros at the beginning of the week, and that allowed us to go out every night for the whole week. Each night, we met the group at Pacha (a very famous Spanish club that is in a lot of cities) and then we went to 3 small clubs/bars after that. It was like a pub crawl, but really fun! They had different kinds of games, it was a typical "spring break."

We also went on a boat for a day with the same pub crawl group. We rode on banana boats and jumped off the high boat into the ocean. We had a fantastic time! We decided it would be fun to ride camels, so on the second to last day, we did. It was so funny because there was a basket on each side of the camel so my friend and I rode at the same time (one of us in each basket). We also saw the sand dunes! Now I am back at school, but missing the Canary Islands SO MUCH!
