Don't bother with the pyramids

If you've got kids in tow then I'm afraid you're in tourist hell.. so, make the most of it

Siam Park, Loro Park, Teide (hopefully the wind stays down and you can get up the cable car), Whale & Dolphin watching (dolphins not guaranteed, pilot whales normally are), if you can get a car, take a drive to masca (unless mountain roads with no barriers give you the shits). The north of the island is where the "cities" are (they are the size of Milton Keynes, can't really call them cities) the south is where the Sun and beaches are. Steer clear of Veronicas unless you want to get ripped off paying 15 euros for watered down beer.

Dorada is the beer they make on the island, it can be potent if you're not used to Spanish alcohol!

The buggy adventures are great fun, but again really expensive, you might come away disappointed as it doesn't feel like much time spent buggying!

Otherwise, eat, drink & be merry! You're in a good part of town for food and drink, if it's still open I recommend Otello II for garlic chicken, it's about 6 euros! If you want more fancy pants restaurants, take a look at Molino Blanco (White windmill) or Coeur de Filet - booking will be needed in both, and make sure you've got double what you normally pay for a meal, but the food is awesome in both.

Los Christianos is best for shopping, if that's your thing, you'll get some bargains down there, but beware, you'll also get some knock off stuff at full price, so check everything carefully.

Can't think of anything else for now, if anything strikes me I'll post again! Enjoy tho, the weather will be good, the beer cheap and the water warm!

Is this the restaurant:

We decided on the double day tickets to Aqualand and Jungle Park. Was a fair bit cheaper and part of Sian Park (1/3) is closed for refurbishment. The Jungle Park birds of prey existence was snagging, with the extra money. The swimming with seals was €55 so only Lacie did it. She was so happy, really loved it. It'll be an experience she'll have for life.

Got a trip to Santa Cruz on Wednesday for shopping, the women want it, I'm going under protest. Thursday, I'm the only one who wants to do Tiede and the cable car. I don't mind, the women can all go to the beach but I'm going to be at home up the mountain.

Doing Aqualand on Tuesday. Today is a chilled day. Maybe hit the beach later but signing up Lacie to youth club incase she wants to do any of the activities. Not sure when she'll have the time but she wants to join to make friends.

This is the one I'm talking about

But I think they're owned by the same people.

I won't lie, Siam and Loro are a million times better than Aqua and Jungle, but I'm sure you'll enjoy either way, both are good.

Definitely do Teide, with or without the girls, whoever goes won't regret, the scenery is incredible and it's quite possible you'll see 4 seasons weather in one day. One year I drove up there and was 32 degrees and clear skies in Adeje, by the time I got to Las Canadas I'd gone through fog. At the caldera and cable car it was snowing and then on the way back down got a hail storm - we ended that drive in Los Gigantes where it was blue skies and 30 degrees again. Unforgettable.

I'm gonna throw out Masca again, breathtaking scenery: https://www.google.com/search?q=mas...ECAYQBg&biw=1878&bih=986#imgrc=UVUY71bKwtrcqM:

Tenerife has something for everyone mate, just go and enjoy it! :D

Thead-jack... but I'm thinking of a late deal break to Gran Canaria. Any tips on good beaches for the bairn, but not too built up or chavvy?

Yes I'm a snob.
