If you’d like to see approximately 2 minutes and 40 seconds of sea, sand, blossoms and birds, then watch the little video, entitled, 'The Quiet Canary', that should, courtesy of Youtube, be somewhere, probably just above this post, on this blog (I haven't worked out how to embed it myself).
If you don't, I don't mind.
We had a great time. Very relaxing and lazy.
Fuerteventura means either 'windy adventure' (according to the travel rep) or 'peaceful island' (according to the publicity brochure). It was windy, but not a fierce cold wind - more of a pleasant cooling breeze. Suited me fine as I don't do hot well.
If you do watch the video, you'll see an example of a wind-breakinghidey-hole that appear all along the beaches. Very sensible but we discoveredthey sometimes contain nudists.
Now, this has been asked before, but why are all nudists old men or fat women? Or some combination of that? Now before you accuse of me of any sort of -ism, even a fit, attractive young man looks foolish with dangling genitalia. As for naked women, well, I'm probably not a good one to ask, never having been entirely comfortable in my own body. I wasn't bothered by it - apart from the occasional escaping 'urrggh, uckifee'.
Foodwise - another important holiday ingredient - once we'd been caught out by the unfulfilled promise of a couple of restaurants, we found some good backstreet tapas bars that replaced the dubious sea bass in my memory with octopus salad and goat stew and suckling pig. On the final night, as we were eating I suddenly said, 'I should have brought the camera!'
'Why?' asked Husband.
'To take a picture of the food.'
'Why?'
'For my blog.' See how I think of you even when I'm away. But it was too late then so, sorry.
I did think of blogging photography when we were scrambling over rocks on the beach though.
'Do you think that's salt?' I asked Husband, pointing to the white crystals gathering in the dried-out rock pools.
'Taste it and see,' he said.
'Do you think I should?'
'Why not? It probably is.'
You notice he didn't offer to taste it. Anyway I did and it was. Very salty!

Welcome back. Sounds like a nice vacation.
Hi, Liz. Glad you're back and I hope you feel relaxed and refreshed. It won't be boring looking at your photos and video! Well done for tasting the salt. Love from Sicily.
