They arrived just after 1pm, local time, on the beautiful island of Lanzarote. They had a short layover in Barcelona since there were no straight flights from Rome to Lanzarote. They grabbed their carry-ons and exited the plane. They went to baggage claim and waited for their luggage to come by. With all their luggage they walked towards the area for the busses. They looked for the travel agent from their travel agency and were told which bus they needed to take. They went out to the busses and found their bus. The driver helped them load their suitcases onto the bus and they went to find a seat on the bus. They had to wait for some other travelers before the bus took off.
Alongside the coast they drove up north. They had to stop at a few other hotels before they arrived at their hotel, HD Beach Resort & Spa. The driver helped them unload their luggage and Callen and Zoë walked up towards the hotel. The hotel had a view of the ocean but was separated by a boardwalk to the beach. They came into a spacious lobby with a few couches and chairs. They walked up to the reception desk.
"Buenos tardes, welcome to Beach Resort & Spa. Do you have a reservation?" A friendly man behind the desk asked.
"Buenos tardes. Si, me llamo Moore," Zoë answered him.
The man typed something on his computer. "Ah si, a la Junior suite."
"Si, es verdad."
"Me pueden traer sus pasaportes por favor?[Can I have you passports please?]"
Zoë and Callen gave him their passports and they were checked in. They were gonna stay here for a week and a half. They got their rooms keys and some information about the hotel. They took the elevator up to the second floor and went to their room. They came into their room. To the left of the door, when they walked in, was the bathroom which had a double vanity with big mirror, a bidet, a toilet and a walk in shower. To the right of the bathroom door was a big closet. Alongside the large wall stood a bench for the suitcases and a dresser with TV. Against the other wall stood a big double bed and behind that a table with two chairs. On their balcony they had a table with two chairs. They had a beautiful view of the ocean. They went downstairs to grab a quick bite to eat before changing into their swimsuits. They found a spot at the downstairs pool, there was another pool on the second floor, and lay down their towels.
"Hmm it was nice all that sightseeing but it's nice to just relax here in the sun as well," Zoë stated as she soaked up some sun.
"Yes it is. Just a few days of rest before going back home and back to work."
They enjoyed the rest of the day at the pool and took the occasional dip in the pool before they went back up to their room just after 6pm. Zoë went into the bathroom first. Once Zoë had taken off her bikini she quickly opened the bathroom door and saw that Callen was standing with his back towards her and she tossed her bikini top and bottom towards him and quickly closed the door again. Callen looked surprised when he saw something fly past him. He looked at the bed, where they items had landed, and saw Zoë's bikini lying there. Oh she was definitely teasing him and inviting him to join her. Callen took his own clothes off and walked into the bathroom. He saw Zoë standing in the shower, showering and not paying any attention to him.
Zoë had heard him coming in but she pretended not to hear him and she kept showering. Callen walked towards the shower and saw Zoë standing with her back towards him. Suddenly she felt two familiar arms wrapping around her waist and his lips against her neck.
"I know what you're doing," Callen whispered in her ear.
Damn his voice like that sounded so beautiful and so full of passion. "Oh do you now?"
"Yes I do."
"What are you going to do about it?" Zoë teased.
"Hmmm, I can think of something."
His breath tickled against her neck and she felt his lips kissing her pulse point again. He grabbed her hips a bit more forcefully and pulled her closer to him. The fingers of his right hand skimmed over her abdomen, going up, but deliberately avoided the places she wanted to be touched most.
"G, please," Zoë moaned. The combination of his lips against her neck and his fingers skimming over her body was almost too much but yet not enough.
"What do you want?" Callen teased her.
"G honey, please, just touch me," Zoë begged.
"I am touching you. You have be more specific than that.
"You know where I want it, honey."
"Hmmm, right here?" Callen questioned as he placed his right hand on her abdomen.
Damn him. Zoë knew that he was teasing her but she wanted him so much.
"Lower," Zoë moaned.
He knew where Zoë wanted him hand but instead of going lower his hand went higher.
"I said lower," Zoë protested but that protest turned into a moan as he cupped her breast.
His other hand moved up too and he cupped both of her breasts and played with them a little before his right hand moved down and in between her legs, right where Zoë him wanted.
"Ooooooh yes," Zoë moaned as she felt him where she wanted it. She moved her right arm up and grabbed the back of his head.
Callen kept on pleasuring her till he felt she was almost there. He removed his hand from in between her legs and removed his hand from her breast. Before Zoë had a chance to protest Callen had already moved himself inside of her from behind. Zoë moaned his name as he slid inside of her and she came right away. Callen slowly started moving, letting her come down from her high. Callen turned them sideways so Zoë could rest her hands against the wall as he continued moving. After a while Callen pulled out of her and turned her around, wanting to see her face as he made love to her. Callen kissed her deeply as he grabbed one of her legs and hooked it over his arm as he moved back inside of her.
After a while, needing some air, Zoë pulled out of the kiss and threw her head back. She lifted herself up and wrapped both of her legs around her husband's waist as his hands went to her butt to hold her up. After a few more minutes they both unraveled and they came hard. Once they had regained some of their breaths Callen kissed Zoë deeply.
They finished with their shower and got changed for dinner. They went downstairs to the buffet restaurant and grabbed some dinner before finding a table. They enjoyed the dinner before going to the bar but not before looking at the schedule to see what was going on tonight. Tonight there was a dance show on the stage. They found themselves a sport with a nice view of the stage and waited for the show to start.
They enjoyed a few days of rest at the resort before they went to explore the island a bit. They walked down the road from their hotel and waited for the bus to take them to the Rancho Texas zoo. It was a zoo but then a bit in Wild Western style. They had till 3pm to explore the zoo. They could stay there longer as well but then they would have to find their own way back. The last free bus back to their hotel left around 3pm. They saw all kinds of animals there and attended a parrot show, a sea lion show, a bird show and a dolphin show. The bird show had all kinds of prey birds and they did a segment where the birds flew pretty close over the people's head. Zoë and Callen had to duck away a few times cus the keeper was standing right behind them. Those birds seemed big when you see them fly in the air but their wigs are even bigger when you're right underneath them. After the dolphin show they had their picture taken with a dolphin. They had to kneel down on a rock in the water and hold out their hands and the dolphin would lay his or her snout in their hands.
"Dolphins are my favorite animals, I have the wish of one day swimming with them. I had never touched one before but their skin feels so weird," Zoë stated.
"Yeah it felt weird, sorta rubbery or something."
They enjoyed the rest of the park. The zoo wasn't that big so they managed to see it all before 3pm. Just before 3pm they stood waiting for the bus to go back to their hotel. Once back at their hotel they changed into their swimsuits to enjoy the last bit of sun at the pool.
The next day they decided to go to the spa. Zoë had managed to talk Callen into going with her, he had never been to a spa so he wasn't sure what to expect from it.
"Buenos días, bienvenido al spa. Tiene una reserva?" The woman behind the desk asked.
"Si, me llamo Moore. Para dos personas."
"Ah, sí. Sígame, por favor."
Zoë and Callen followed the woman and were given a bathrobe and a pair of towels. Callen and Zoë went to the changing rooms to get changed. They already had put their bathing suits on before leaving the hotel room. They first went to the massage room. They had a couples massage so they had beds next to each other. It was a very relaxing massage. After the massage they went into the sauna and afterwards they took a dip in an ice cold bath. They went to lie on a relaxing chair for a bit before taking a dip in the bubble bath. After the spa they went to get some lunch before finding a spot at the pool.
The next day they went to the reception desk and rented a car. Someone from the car rental service came to pick them up and brought them to their shop. They had to fill in some paperwork and they could pick up their car. They were going to explore the island today. Via Calle Le Atalaya they made their way up to the highway. Callen drove as Zoë read the map. They had put the navigator that was in the car on as well but Zoë kept her eye on the map just in case since the navigator was in Spanish. They followed the highway until the exit for Guatiza. They took the exit and down the ramp they took the first exit on the round-a-bout onto Avenue Garafía. Just after they had passed through Guatiza Callen pulled the car into the parking lot at the Cactus garden. They exited the car and went to explore the garden. It was a beautiful garden with a lot of cacti, the one bigger than the previous one. They explored the garden for a bit. It wasn't that big so it took them less than an hour. They got back in the car and continued to drive up north. Just past Mala they got back on the highway. At the junction they followed Orzola. A little further up the road they took a right towards Jameos del Agua. This was a sort of spring type thingy. They explored it for a bit before continuing. They drove a bit back towards the road where they had come from. They crossed that road going on the LZ-204. It was only a short drive to their next location. Callen parked the car in the parking lot and they went to Cueva de los Verdes. They had to wait a bit before the next group left. With a guide they went down into the cave. It was pretty narrow and dark at some points. At some points they really had to bow down to fit through, that's how low it was. It was a beautiful cave. After exploring the cave they went back on the road. They exited the parking lot and went right.
"If you look at the island here it's not much green or trees and quite black," Callen stated.
"Yeah, that's because it's a volcanic island, that's where all the black sand and stones come from. All the Canary Islands are volcanic islands."
They followed this road till the end and then took a right up to Mirador del Rio and a bit further down this road another right up to Mirador del Rio. They were now at the north end of the island. They parked the car and went inside. From this point they had a beautiful view of the ocean. They sat down to have some lunch at the restaurant there before continuing their way. They drove back a little bit the way they came. But on the road where they took the last right they now took the right, instead of left and going back the way they came. They took the right towards Haría. They drove through Máguez via Calle San Francisco and Calla Tahoyo onto Calle Romero. Along Calle La Cruz they drove to Haría. At the junction they took a left towards Arrecife onto Calle La Longuera and then another right towards Arrecife. They followed this road and had to go up the mountain a bit through hair pin turns.
"Ooh geez, I hope this car makes it," Callen stated.
They had a small car with not really a big engine so he had to put in two and really gas it. After a few hair pin turns they made it up the mountain and continued their way down. When they were in Teguise they took a left up to Castillo de Santa Barbara. It was a pretty steep road but they made it up. They parked the car and looked for the entrance. They found it but unfortunately it was already closed so they couldn't go in. They looked around the ground for a bit. They made their way back down and continued their way south. At the round-a-bout Callen took a right towards Caleta de Famara. The road was straight ahead until Mozaga. They went right here up to Mozaga. Callen followed the signs up to Timanfaya. At the gate they had to pay a fee to go into the park. They followed the main road up the central point. They parked the car and went aboard the bus that took them around the park. Only the main road up the central point was accessible, the rest was only accessible by tour bus. They took the bus through the Volcanic rocks. The road was pretty narrow at some points that the bus hardly fit through. It took about forty-five minutes to drive through before they were back at the central point. They went into the café and had something to drink before continuing their way. They exited the park and continued their way south. At the round-a-bout they took the first exit towards Playa Blanca. When they reached Playa Balance Callen exited the round-a-bout at the first exit towards Faro de Pechiguera and they followed the signs until they were at the lighthouse. They parked the car and had a look around, they couldn't go into the lighthouse however.
"Do you see that white sand there?" Zoë said as she pointed across the ocean.
Callen looked that way. "Yeah, is that another island?"
"Yeah that's Fuerteventura, another one of the Canary Islands."
"Wow amazing that you can see it from here."
They were at the South edge of the island. They drove back the way they came and went in the directions of Playa Blanca. They wanted to go to Playa Papagayo as well, that was on the other south end but the road towards it was a really long road of just gravel so they decided against it. Callen drove them back up the road and took a right onto the round-a-bout towards Arrecife. He followed the road all the way up to Arrecife and then followed Costa Teguise back to their hotel. He parked the car in the parking lot and they returned the keys at the desk. Someone from the rental company would come and pick the car up tomorrow morning. It was just past 4pm when they came back so they went to lay by the pool for a bit before getting dinner.
The rest of the days they just relaxed around the hotel. One day they took a walk along the boulevard and visited some shops.
Before they knew it their honeymoon was over and they were on the way back to the airport. Their flight back home was pretty long, since there were no straight flights from Lanzarote back to LAX. Their flight left just after 3.30pm towards Madrid. In Madrid they had some food since they had a four and a half hour layover before their connecting flight to Mexico left. They managed to get some sleep on the plane by the time they landed in Mexico around 5am. Here they had another five hour layover before their plane left towards LAX. Just before noon they arrived back in LA. They waited for their baggage and went to grab their car from the parking lot before making their way back home.
"Ah it's good to be back home again," Zoë stated as she walked through the door.
"Yes is it. But I really loved our honeymoon," Callen replied as he pulled Zoë closer and kissed her.
"Me too. And I love you."
"I love you too."
Both of them were really excited about what their married life would look like but they both knew they were going to love it.
