Batteries Fully Recharged
Like a lot of families in the UK we spend a lot of time throughout the year working hard to save up our money and annual leave for a family holiday somewhere (hopefully) warmer where our pasty skin can get a full dose of vitamin D. This year, we’ve been to Lanzarote for 10 days and despite only arriving at the hotel by late afternoon, our first job was to get the kids in the pool.
They are both confident swimmers but as it felt a little cool, I jumped in first to try it out, and immediately regretted it! I’ve fallen in warmer rivers! It turns out that Lanzarote’s island position leaves itself fairly exposed to Atlantic winds and most of the outdoor pools unless they are vigorously heated tend to be a bit chilly. But, I’m a dad and as we all know, few things are funnier than tricking our children and so having styled it out, I encourage them to jump straight in only for them to climb straight out again!
The following day things seem to perk up a little and the warm poolside air makes the whole experience a lot more pleasant so, with no trickery, we’re all back in the pool before we spend the day getting our bearings and finding a nice spot to try out the beach.
