BARCELONA, SPAIN – 7-12 October 2026
I have to say, if you were to pick one city in Spain to visit, I’d highly recommend Barcelona. We arrived on Wednesday evening and our luggage arrived on the same flight (although we had packed extra in our hand luggage to ensure we were prepared for loss luggage LOL).  Our accommodation at H10 Catalunya Plaza is amazing, would definitely recommend as it’s right in the old part of town.

LANZAROTE, CANARY ISLANDS – 4 – 6/10/26
After yesterday’s 5-star tour, we’ve got some pretty high expectations for the next trip.  For some unknown reason, I thought we would be taking a ferry ride and there would only be the four of us.  Sadly, it was a similar situation to yesterday, a double-decker bus and a shit load of people.  Ah well, we were spoiled by the Collette tour in the Azores.

LANZAROTE, CANARY ISLANDS  – 3 October 2026
After our first “commercial” tourist tour we’ve voted that Christine has outdone herself.

LANZAROTE, CANARY ISLANDS – 29/9/26 – 2/10/26
It didn’t start out well, luggage not arriving, hire car without Sat Nav that couldn’t be used, no luggage on day 2, getting lost on day 2, 1 bag still missing on day 3. Unsuccessfully trying Sat Nav again on day 3, and finally deciding to get rid of the car and then get a Spanish speaking person to track down the missing bag.  It’s day 4 and we’re back on track.

LISBON, PORTUGAL – 27 September 2026
I didn’t think that there’d be any point going on the Collette Lisbon tour as we’d seen a lot back two weeks ago but, turned out that they were taking us to the Palace, which we hadn’t seen before. So, I was keen for the Palace, but had to go to a few other places first. Continue reading →
