Me and my girlfriend Mariel were about 17-18 years old when we decided to walk into a travel agency and tell them to send us anywhere as long as it was the cheapest trip they got for 2 weeks. They suggested Lanzarote and we didn't even know where it was but it sounded exotic so we skipped school and went. I remember getting excited seeing it from above in the airplane and when we had went through the customs we were supposed to be greeted by a woman who worked for the travel agency. She would tell all of us tourists with unspecific accomodation where we would be staying. The problem was that she couldn't find me & Mariel on the list and she looked worried. Every hotel would probably be booked already by now so we imagined worst case scenario, but instead it worked in our favour. Since all low budget accomodation were fully booked they had to give us a room with our own patio at a really nice hotel, with pool, tennis court and basketball court, so we had no complains! ...
