Yup, I’m back again! Red in that tomato-red way – but that was kinda expected. I am not supposed to have that nice summer tan tone:/ And when my mum wanted to be nice to me and put on some Aloe Vera oil, I got an allergic reaction. So if I wasn't red before, then I definietly was efter that!

Playa de Ingles was nice of course. But it was like living in a huge amusement park! I’m used to go to big cities or to places with very little tourists. But no charter trips. But this time my dad chose where the vacation should be, and we ended up in this living nightmare for someone like me; who really don’t like charter trips. I mean come on, just trying to find a spot to roll out the blanket on at the beach was basically Mission Impossible!

Anyway, beaches, sunburns and external family aside – the trip was kinda fun. Or well, not the trip itself- but everything around it! I managed to talk my mum, dad and brother into renting a car for a day. I wanted to 1. See something else that huge hotels and shopping centres, and 2. get rid of the relatives for a day. So we drove around in the mountains and visited tiny villages and stuff like that. It was really great, since Gran Canaria has a spectacular nature! … Though 5 hours of driving around in the mountains was a bit… nauseous.
But I got some really cool photos anyway! Both mountains, desert, and arcitecture.

But the absolutely coolest thing was that there was a Pride- festival starting only 3 days after we arrived! Haha, the Centrum of the whole festival was at the big shopping centre behind our hotel There were tons of fun and interesting people, street entertainment and even a small carnival! (Photos will be uploaded soon) The favourite bar was this over-crowded drag-queen bar. I’ve never met so friendly and humours (and hysterically hilarious) people before. So while my ol’ dad complained over the noise from the festivities at night, I loved every minute of it! And so did my camera!
So yeah, that was probably what saved the whole vacation for me! God, I would have built myself a little nest on top of the bar where I could sleep, and stayed in Playa de Ingles for another month or so if that was possible!

Ah well, nice to be back I guess!
