It's going to get brutal later in the week, it seems. We've never seen temperatures like this before in Tenerife and while it has been hot on the European mainland recently, we didn't expect it to be that way here. Although this is the forecast for our area, we can only hope that the sea around us keeps us cooler than this.
When we first arrived we soon realised that you could order tea/coffee supplies for your room, a towelling dressing gown and towelling mule slippers. We asked for all of those and they came early the next day.
This was a quieter day as we decided to sit/lie out on one of the sun roof areas and read while listening to whatever through our headphones.
Lunch was somewhat of the liquid variety although Graeme did have some patatas bravas from the Breeze pool bar which only took an hour or so to arrive, while Elizabeth had a mushroom risotto.
There are three pools here close together and Elizabeth tried them all in quick succession and gave me her verdict on them. One was a deep pool, the smallest one was warmer than the others but the central one was just right - sounds a bit like the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

Despite the fact that I had been fairly well covered up and that we were in the shade except when we were in the pool, I still woke up on Monday morning to see that I was a brighter shade of pink than normal!

Mussels were on the menu for the evening meal within a theme of Middle East (which was actually eastern Mediterranean) but most hadn't opened so were to be avoided.
