Woohoo Loro Parque day. The day started badly with Edward falling and cracking his head on the wooden door frame which made him feel a bit sick and put our day out in doubt. He soon perked up though so we set off and stopped regularly to check he was ok. When we got to the north the clouds were hovering just above the motorway making it difficult to see the signs - we hoped the pilots flying into tenerife north airport had better technology!! Out to sea the clou...

Today was blumming hot. Not a cloud in the sky and even the breeze was warm. We headed off early to the beach at Montana Roja and stayed there until early afternoon. We had a couple of breakthroughs with Edward today, the first was that he came into the sea jumping over the waves. The waves weren't small either with people riding body boards together back to shore. Edward flitted between the sea and his trains, he made tracks for his trains in the sand and sat o...

Los Cristianos was our destination today. We parked up and walked down to the beach-via a park of course. Last time we were here there were JCBs creating a new beach but this time it was a mass of volleyball tournaments, sunbeds and people building wonderful sand sculptures in the hope of a coin. We wandered along past the new beach and Port up to the main beach with its lovely golden sand and gentle waves. Kayla of course went straight into the sea whilst Ed ...
