Day 6 – Surfing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today we had a surf lesson planned. I wasn\u2019t sure if it would be any good or not. I was hoping that Anna would enjoy it, catch a few waves, and finally understand what it\u2019s all about. But as a surfer of 40+ years, I wasn\u2019t sure how it would be for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We chilled in the morning and had brunch on the seafront. <\/p>\n\n\n

We then strolled via the Carnival Stage and the harbour area to Surf O\u2019Clock, where we met Marco, our instructor for the afternoon. Fortunately, it turned out to be a private lesson for just for the two of us. Marco was happy for me to just go surfing once he\u2019d seen me paddle out and knew I was fine in the water. This allowed him to stay with Anna. Mind you, Marco was pretty laid back in general and didn\u2019t do anything in a hurry! The waves were good, and I caught a few but didn\u2019t catch any that were too spectacular. I was, of course, on a soft-top board rather than the more high-performance boards that I\u2019m used to so that didn’t help. But, I didn\u2019t make a fool of myself either. Anna seemed to enjoy it too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the lesson, we strolled back along the beaches, stopping off for a mocktail. We then had a pizza dinner so that we could meet to go star-gazing at 7:00 pm. We did meet our star-gazing guide, but she decided it was too cloudy, she was feeling a little stressed, and decided to cancel\u2014hopefully with the option for us to go another day later in the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 7 – Isla Lobos<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the sea swell somewhat subsided, our trip to Isla Lobos was back on. However, when we got to the dockside, we were told that it was forecast to get really windy again, so our planned 5 pm boat back might get cancelled. We therefore decided that we\u2019d aim for the 2:30 pm boat instead, just in case. We didn\u2019t fancy getting stranded on a fairly bleak, desolate island overnight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boat crossing in the morning was fine, but there wasn\u2019t a huge amount to do on the island. Despite this, we managed to use our time wisely with a stroll around the entire island, admiring the volcanic landscape, the weird vegetation, and the lizards. We had a little picnic lunch, and I then had a quick jaunt up to the highest peak. At 127 m Monta\u00f1a de La Caldera Isla de Lobos isn’t much more than a little hill really, but it’s fairly prominent on the island and it meant it took less than 30 minutes to walk up and down it – so Anna didn’t have to wait long for me to ‘bag the summit’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We then wandered around to the sandy beach and both had a quick swim, and before we knew it, it was time to get on the boat back to Fuerteventura. It was a nice day out, but there were quite a few people on the island. Numbers are restricted to 400 each day, but even that felt like a lot. Back in Corralejo, we had dinner at Oscar\u2019s, watched the Carnival Stage for a while, strolled around the town, and then headed off to bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
