Road To Recovery: Sun, Sand & Thunder Storms

Hello there!
I didn't get a chance to do daily updates on the holiday, I got really distracted by a book I was reading!

The holiday was great and we just relaxed most of the days. I didn't want to go on a holiday to explore everything, I just wanted a nice chilled week in the sun!
The heat was unreal, it went as high as 36 degrees, weirdly enough I could handle it, the humidity wasn't anything like it is in Ireland!

One evening myself and James went for a stroll on the beach. We thought it would be romantic to walk through the water and sand together and watch the sun go down. Lets just say it didn't quite turn out like we thought it would! The sand on the beach was just pebbles, and when we walked through the water I started to sink in the wet sand, it literally went up to my shins! James had to pull me out, then my flip flop came off and I was gripping it with 2 of my toes shouting 'me flip flop!!' I'd say anyone watching got one hell of a laugh!!
The 2 of us laughed the whole way back to the hotel, it was too funny!

The next day all three of us went to a cafe on the beach front, we got waffles, crepes and Kit-Kat Frappes.
We walked around the town looking in some of the gift shops to see what we could bring home for our families.
The rest of the week we spent at the pool and soaking up as much sun as we could get!
I read a book in 2 and a half days, 1st to Die by James Patterson, I just couldn't put it down!
I have finished 4 of his books from the 'NYPD Red' series and now I am starting the 'Women's murder club' series. If you are interested I will do a post reviewing his books!

We went for cocktails most nights, but some nights we sat in and had a movie night! It was funny, all three of us huddled around my 10" tablet screen!
We watched Skiptrace with Johnny Knoxville and Jackie Chan, it was actually pretty funny and then we watched the Purge Election Year, that was also really good

On our last night, there was a serious thunder storm, there was fork lightening and the thunder shook our room! The rain was so heavy and there was also hailstones, that sounded like rocks!
My sister was terrified, she never seen or heard a storm that bad before, but that is normal for Spain!
I love thunder storms, but I got really annoyed because I couldn't sleep with the noise and I had to be up at 8am!

The holiday was good and we really did need the break! The WIFI in the hotel was terrible, but then again I didn't want to be stuck with my face in my phone for the whole week.
It is going to be a long day travelling home, but I'm really looking forward to it, I cant wait to just get into a routine and get back to my diet and exercise!

Thank you for reading!
I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!
Love
Tanya
