Holiday

Well hello for 2010

I know it's over a month into this new year. As usual I have done so much yet done so little.

As you know I lead a chequered life of excitment, disappointment, calm and fun.

My New year was great I went for Sun Sea and Sand. I went somewhere where I could be annonymous I could be naked and unnoticed. I went to the Canary islands to Santa Crz De La Pama. I stayed at the very lovely hotel called the Hotasa Taburiente Playa.

It was about 5 minutes from the airport so the taxi wasn't that bad at all. I was able to keep up with my daily training by running down to the harbour and using the sea and beach for cardio. The gym in the hotel was quite decent as well as was the sauna which I had to use very early in th emorning bbecause I like to be naked in the sauna which is the proper way after all. I also enjoyed massage and the jungle look to the entrance.

I was there for three very discreet weeks of solitude and reflection and I also had a good tim einteracting with some holiday friends. You know the sort of disposable friends we all have from time to time. we talk and talk, go out drinking, visit the pool and then are cut off at the end of the holiday. Not a bad thing at all everything is nice as Clare one of the single use friends said the friendship doesn't go sour the enthusiasm is there but the hold isn't, very true Clare.

Los Cancajos beach was a great place to go. I would go there with a bottle of wine or two and read from my holiday book again disposed of at the end of the holiday. I even went to the museum of Natural Science in the town, it was quite good it killed some time.

My best part of the holiday was spread over a week I met a couple of guys who obviously wanted to woo me for dinner or into bed, not going to happen guys I am very strict on that. We met in the gym and got talking there and went onto the bar and had a day of talking. They tried to impress me with tails of daring do and of their jobs as soldiers. I cpould tell straight away that they wern't combat soldiers as they had no real idea about war fighting just their own vanity.

Wall after a few days of trying to flirt they got a little competetive in the gym. I am on holiday so my workouts are slower, lighter and shorter. They kept up, just and when I went into the punch bag zone they followed and made some comments about females fighting. I suggested sparring, I'll say the first guy got a good kicking because he tried not to hurt me ( or so he said). Dan the next one came over all kick boxer and tried to hard spar he lasted about 8 minutes, I gave him quite a hiding after he bloodied my nose. They learned.
