Rocked up at Casa Verde, happy as can be
Two weeks of peace ahead of us, paradise it will be
First to wow us was the pool, glistening in the sun
Then off to tour this fancy gaff, this will sure be fun!
The kitchen's a dream, the bedrooms too, the sunken lounge is cool
What a glorious place this is in the sun ... err, did I mention the pool?
Shopping was an experience, we did soon find a store
Mercadona, SuperDino and the local shop, we couldn't want for more
Russ and Katie came to stay; our friends from way back in Blighty
We went down south on a jeep safari which gave us a big frighty!
The jeeps went off-road for six full hours, we felt every jolt and bump
The views were awesome, the beaches too, but the sheer cliffs made you jump!
Gatronomes can feel at ease, in this foody wonderland
From El Horno, Vieja and Hotel Mahoh, the food is never bland
And down in Corralejo too, at the mighty Bahia Real
Las Columnas served a Michelin treat, in the shape of a divine meal
Touring the island by rental car is the way to really explore
North to south, east to west, you just see more and more
From old town Betancuria to lovely Pajara; every town's so sweet
Back to Antigua and Caleta too, everywhere's a treat
Dad, Chris & their girls also stayed; to soak the rays up too
A weekend lounging by the pool, such times are sadly few
What a relaxing time we've had, chillaxing in the sun
Recharging our worn out batteries, but our hols are nearly done
Thanks Naomi for your fab retreat, to which we will return
Armed with a few more Spanish words, and many more to learn.
