We had a long last day of the holidays... we got up early and took the ferry back to Fuerteventura, and then we had a walk on the dunes - its quite spectacular the way there is a great raft of serious golden sand and then it just stops and turns back into lava lava lava rubble.... the weather look like it was picking up again but it was just pretending.. as we neared the sea over the dunes the black cloud blackened, the wind roared and we made a dash back up to the car.

There were quite a few goats scattered around the sands they didn't seem bothered by the weather - its probably nice when it rains for them.

We stopped and had lunch and a look around Puerto De Rosario - not much there really, lots of cafes and industrial type ports...  We delivered the car back unscathed and then did a bit of people watching in the airport. The flight home was slightly longer then we expected as we had to do an emergency stop over somewhere in Portugal as a passenger became ill and needed emergency treatment - what a horrible end to their holiday. We left them heading for a hospital in Porto and after waiting for flight clearance we were fortunate to be able to speed towards Newcastle and home! 

Lovely little sunshine break, but its also nice to be home and see my seeds are growing and the garden, after the barrenness of the Canary isles, is looking quite green and lush!  Feels like we have been away for quite a lot longer then a week!!
