It may be a gloomy, stormy New Year's Eve here in the Shire but my mind is still in Lanzarote, where we were only two weeks ago. This was our first ever trip abroad in the Winter time, a spur of the moment decision that turned out to be an amazing experience.
Here are a few photos of the incredible Timanfaya National Park, an almost lunar landscape of volcanoes and lava fields which was the most desolate and beautiful environment I've ever seen.
We got to walk down into a volcano - known as Fire Mountain, which was something we'd never done before, or really even thought of doing. It was staggeringly gorgeous.
And, talking of firsts, we also went on a camel ride into the mountains, which again was something we'd never done before.
And here are a few obligatory beach shots of the lovely Playa Flamingo, just five minutes from our hotel, the beautiful Timanfaya Palace...
Above is the stunning view from our hotel balcony: the Red Mountain, another volcanic wonder.
We only had four nights in Lanzarote but we'll definitely have to go back. Cheers!
