Many of you been wondering how my holiday to Fuerteventura was. Well it was pretty cool and Imma tell you what happened

Day 1: Arrival
After spending a night in Croydon, the next day, me, my brother and my mum and my friend Adam and his mum Tracie went to the airport to get a plane to Fuerteventura. The plane trip (After much running about) went really well, the film they showed on the plane was iceage two I had not seen the sequal untill then. It felt weird taking off but it was really easy, uncle Fel was right; planes are fun.

After about four hours we arrived in Fuerteventura and took along taxi journey to the hotel. The deserts are nice at night but nicer during the day, though I didn't pass the deserts untill the last day on the journal back to the airport.

Well on the first day, we got to the apartments, and looked around the hotel, mum instantly saw the pub, but we didn't go there untill the second night. Instead we lounged around our apartment waiting for my mum to contact my older brother Chris, we came to Fuerteventura to see him. In the end we decided to head off to town which wasn't far from the hotel. It was night time at the time, we walked there, the stars were out and on the walkways there were HUEG pineapples sticking out of the ground, some time later in the week we took a picture of my brother standing next to one. Once we got into town we were just passing where my brother Chris worked, and we bumped into him. How convenient.

So Chris took us into a texan style resturant which is where he worked, well he worked in the pub one floor above it. Chris was already half drunk that night, he kept saying how the food was really good, I had a pizza so did my brother David, can't remember what the adults ate. Adam had a T-bone steak, it wasn't as big as I thought it would be or as Chris said. The food was okay, but we definally have much better food in England.

Chris's girlfriend Marlene dined with us too. Shes nice, mature unlike Chris, a pretty girl, and very quiet. I have no idea what she saw in Chris as alot of the time he got drunk, though suppose hes really nice when sober.

After dinner (Chris was fully drunk now) Marlene went home, and Chris invited me up the pub, I decided best not to say no but I definally went home after. So he brought me up and...oh nose....he buys me a beer. I hate alchohol. Though I drank it, though didn't like it. I did tell Chris I didn't drink but he didn't want to hear it. So I drank it slowly and only had one. He asked me if I had a girlfriend I said "you could say that" and he starts laughing and making a joke and asking how I got 'her'. Apparantly the way I said it was really dodgy or something. Little does he know that I'm actually gay and have a boyfriend, though hes homophobic so I didn't tell him. I started talking to the lady behind the bar and saying Chris was my brother and I said sorry for his drunken behavior. She had only been working there two weeks. Chris seemed to think I was 'chattin her up' I was not intrested. Its weird I say I have someone but he thinks Im some pimp who needs every girl in the world like himself. Though he was drunk.

I saw a sign saying "Sex on the beach: 5 euros" I was not intrested in sex but intrested what it was. It turns out its a drink. I wish I didn't ask Chris though cause he burst out laughing then asked me many a time if I wanted him to get me a girlfriend in Fuerteventura so I could finally get laid. I thought enough was enough and told him I was tired and needed to get home. So he got me a taxi home. Once I got home I instantly started to write a letter to my boyfriend because I said I would everyday and I did, except a day two. I asked my mum to write the address on the front because I didn't know how to write it out. She forgot to write "U.S.A" or "America" so it took longer to get there.

Day 2: The pool
So today we basically spent time in the hotels swimming pool. I definally can't swim I can't even float and it had as much salt as the red sea. I'm so thin..and short my boyfriend is 6.1 and growing and I'm 5.3 feet. Anywho, it was a quiet day in the pool, when I got out I slipped and landed on my back. Surprisenly it didn't hurt at all. Later on we went to the pub and met Sam the barman, hes a cool black man and he made us fit in nicly. Though we went to a pizza resturant (pizza again?) later with Chris and Marlene, I enjoyed that night alot more because Chris was sober. Turned out I got on really well with Marlene, though she didn't talk much.

Dayz on...
The next day David got blisters, he had been out in the sun too long. So we had a stroke of bad luck, we couldn't do as much. That day was a quiet day in, hoping his blisters wouldn't last more then a day. When the pub opened we all went there again, played some pool..sorry alot of pool. Drank Pepsi, we went to the pub most nights. Whenever it opened it was happy hour so we got two drinks. He was a very happy man and very energetic.

Adam was talking to this women but then moved away from her and I spoke to her. She was drunk and Italian she hated the french in her drunken state. She was very nice though. Very intrested in how my school grades were. She lived in England for awhile and went to Oxford and learned English ect ect. Apparantly that day she spoke English was the first time in a whole ten years. We even started speaking about football. Its either Dan, Nailer or loads of girls that ever talk to me about football. The day after was her last day there. She had a puppy with her, when leaving she told the people she had just brought it but she kept it in her appartment for three weeks.

That night it was Kareoke night, so both my mum and Traice sang songs, so did Sam, he kept giving my mum and Tracie free shots. My mum got wasted that night.

Over the next few days we did alot of shopping, I brought a few of my friends some stuff and my boyfriend some gifts, whether he likes me buying him stuff or not. We all including brother Chris and his girlfriend went to the beach on the second to last day, that was okay but I spent the time laying down because I didn't want to go in the water.

We all did some other stuff but I'm getting bored of writing I think so I've just really said all the intresting things.

We got back to Croydon after the week, I didn't see my brother on the last day so I didn't say to him I was gay and ran but oh wells. Once back in Croydon we stayed at my mums friend Jackies for the night. I got to see Kirsty again and her annoying chav sister who is about 98% of a man. A week later after alot of work around the house in Plymouth we went to Croydon again, this time mum drove us. I got to see Kirsty more and met her friends, I like them though alot of chavs in Croydon. Spent some nights at Jackies and some at Tracies. Played Xbox Live: Halo 2 and watched some movies and spent time on the internet and went out with Kirsty and her friends. Basically it. Yeah so if you were wondering things that have happened there you go.
