Tenerife Diary part Cuatro...


OR: 3 ways to look bad ass while lying on grass

1,2 &3. Lying on the Grass at Las Americas - Shirt and Jacket - H&M, Tights - Zara , shoes+sunnies - Mr. Price cross - New Yorker
4. Wind surfers

I accompanied Ze boy to Las Americas to watch him surf and take cool surf pictures
This was before I was repeatedly and relentlessly offered Spanish beer - San Miguel - which in the holiday spirit, I caved in and drank. Bad idea. It was a 20 - 30 minute drive to Las Americas and I was tipsy and exhausted when I got there. I hate that about alcohol.

Las Americas is the most touristy town I've EVER been to. It has EVERYTHING you need to say you were away for holiday. From palm trees, the ocean, sea side shops, stores - big name brands (cavalli, et al) to Mango and Bershka, to Chinese stores. All sorts of restaurants, from spanish places to Turkish Kebab houses to American hooters. Millions of hotels. In short, a lot of action at a walking distance.

Too. Much. Action. If you ask me! Although I do alot of exploring during my holidays as opposed to the lying in the sun everyday, I do enjoy retiring to a lazy quiet area.

  10. I like the outfit; it has a bit of a retro-look about it yet it is quite classic and modern.

    You *do* make lying on the grass look bad-ass. When I do it, I look like a beached whale (which wouldn't look too out of place near the ocean, come to think of it).

    1. He and his friends have been trying to get me into it, but I see how obsessed they are about it, and I don't want to be that person plus its a really expensive sport/hobby so no thanks.
