Lanzarote - day 1

We met with the Geo group at the Orio airport (BG). The flight -4 hrs- was quite uneventful and on Lanzarote we base at Celeste Apartments, in Costa Teguise. Very cozy, extremely nice setting, I'd surely recommend it. It's a one bedroom flatlet with a small patio, kitchen area and bathroom in a apartment complex. THere's also a swimming pool in the complex, although we're told that the sea's warmer...
We had a welcome aperitif and a dinner where we savoured various local specialities washed down with local white wine.
The group seems quite well mixed, a little old on the average, but ok.
Firs impression of the island: good! Fair weather and wind are my thing. On the way from the airport we encountered a few concrete skeletons of half constructed houses, then abandoned. There's quite a few British people by the look of it, and by the amount of pubs and "all day breakfast" places. There's even a chippy :)
The place is overall very nice, with shops and restaurants, pubs and beaches. Our bungalow is quite close to the sea. I think maƱana we'll be going to the beach before breakfast and tonight we tested the pool.
