Travel #1 // Lanzarote ❤

Hi everyone! Ive been thinking of starting a Travel Tuesday series where each week on a Tuesday I will post about a holiday Ive been on, and what I did/visited whilst I was there. I got the idea from the lovely Bekah, who has a travel series where she will give you tips on the top things to do/places to visit in all of the top countries and cities. You can find her blog and follow her series here. To start off, I thought I would write a post about my holiday to Lanzarote. (Just to let you know, there will be ALOT of photos :))

Lanzarote is one of the beautiul Canary Isands off the coast of South Africa. The island was made from volcanic eruptions and has solidified lava streams as well as extravagant rock formations. There are alot of volcanos on the island. 

One of the things we did while we was there was a volcano tour. We went to Timanfaya National Park and saw the lava feilds formed by the 18th century volcanic eruption. They show you different experiments demonstrating the power of the heat below the surface. You get to see all of the beautiful and colourful rocks formed by the volcanos. At the end of the tour, you get the chance to ride a camal around the base of fire mountain. I would recommend going on this trip if you go to Lanzarote as you learn alot about the history of the island, and get to see some great scenic veiws. The only scary thing was the bus ride ... the driver didn't exactly drive slow around the volcanos, which had massive drops at the side of the road and no barrier! 

Another trip we went on was to Rancho Texas Park. The park is full of animals and they have sea lion show where you can swim and interact with the sea lions themselves! They have a large selections of meals for you to choose from and lots of outdoor spaces for you to relax. All the animals are living in recreations of their natural habitats. It is a great day out and I highly recommend it! There are always shows going on in different areas of the park, so you will never be short of things to do. It really was an amazing experience!

The beaches in Lanzarote are amazing! Me and my boyfriend walked to a private beach where no cars can get to. You have to get there by foot. And it took a while. After about 2 hours of walking with the sun beaming down on us, we finally arrived at the beach we were looking for. There was a little cafe overlooking the beach which was a nice place to get a drink and some food after our long walk. The beach and the sea was absolutely beautiful! 

Here are just a few more photos for you .. :) 

If you've stayed until the end of this post ... Yay!! :) Thankyou for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed reading and looking at the photos! Next Tuesday there will be another holiday post, about a different destination. Please let me know if you enjoy reading posts like this and your thoughts on me doing one every week?
