MY COVID GETAWAY

Hey babes! I hope you’re all doing fine during these weird times! In today’s post, I’m gonna take you on a little vacation to the canary island of Fuerteventura. Before the infection rate has increased on the canary islands, my family and I were lucky enough to enjoy a little Covid getaway in the sun☀️

We booked the trip before the pandemic started and deciding whether to go or not, was not an easy call – let me tell you😅 But the situation seemed to be somehow working out at that time, so we went! And I’m so happy we did!!!😍

We stayed at the R2 Rio Calma Hotel & Spa and it was great! The hotel was super empty and the staff really did a great job in taking care that everybody was having a good time while staying safe. We were required to wear a mask in all the community areas and especially at the buffet. But due to the very low hotel occupancy, you could always keep a safe distance to the other guests and enjoy your vacation with good conscience.😷😊

The hotel is located right at the ocean, so we walked down to the beach almost every day 🌊

The water was so warm and shallow, we couldn’t resist to take a swim – again, almost every day😍

A bit further down the beach, the waves were more intense and on the windy days the water was packed with kite surfers. Who also loves watching them?😝 I never get tired of it and I’m always thinking about how they make it look so easy and effortlessly, when I would probably break my neck trying it😂

After spending the days in the sun and walking on the beach, we were more than hungry and happy to have a delicious dinner buffet every night😍There were always some basic foods – pasta, pizza, etc. – and then they switched their “theme” every night to a different country, which made the whole culinary experience very interesting! One night, I had the most delicious tacos ever! I ate two whole plates – gotta say, I was suuuper full after but it was absolutely worth it👍🏼😂

To burn some calories before having dinner, we often played some tennis.🎾I mean, look at this location – a beautiful tennis court, palm trees and the ocean in the background… Even with some grey clouds in this picture – who wouldn’t like to spend their evenings that way? I always get very dreamy thinking back☺️

Finishing this blog post, I had to share my favorite view looking up from my sunbed – blue sky and palm trees😍As an absolute summer person, I always get super duper happy as soon as I see palm trees😂Does anyone feel the same way?

Anyway, I hope this gave you a little time out from your everyday stress and you could maybe daydream a bit about summer, blue skies, sandy beaches and palm trees☺️😍 Let’s all hope that our next getaways aren’t that far away…

Until then, stay healthy loves!💕
