This is Princess Diana,- a name given to me by ‘crofter’ over two years ago- sending you greetings from sunny Gran Canaria, where Hubby and I are enjoying a two week break from the cold of NE England only to find that the temperatures have risen dramatically since we left.
Never mind we are enjoying our break and have had plenty of opportunities to see the countryside and play a few rounds of golf. Fortunately ‘himself’ doesn’t mind driving on winding narrow roads in order to get to the least visited sites. Having said that we have noticed that there is much building of motorways – funded by the EU i.e. by US!! It makes our blood boil when we look at the single carriageway A1 North of Newcastle up to the Scottish border. And I am sure there are many other places where roads need upgrading.
This small rocky island boasts many unusual features, from naturist sandy beaches to unusual rocky outcrops and plenty to do for those who like to indulge in watersports.
Cyclists on the roads come in their dozens, all very professional looking toiling up and down the mountain passes but it does get a bit scary to find them on the motorways as well.
The golf has been interesting as well. Courses built into the hillside with deep ravines on either side of the fairways. Stray off the fairways at your peril, although if you do venture into the ravines there are golf balls to be picked up aplenty!!. Hubby can’t resist the temptation of replacing the ones he ditches into the water hazards.
Better late than never with so many possibilities. I'll try with
Quick SAND
Ayers ROCK (been there, middle of nowhere)
Caspian SEA (not been there)
SKY Blue
