A well known travel company may have found the solution to the bane of many a pool side lovers life.
The stress of leaving breakfast and seeking out a pool side sun lounger only to encounter a sea of towel reserved sunbeds could be a thing of the past. Leaving the city rat race only to find yourself in another kind of sunbed rat race could be over.
Thomas Cook have started a test scheme which they are launching in the Canary Islands, Turkey and Egypt. Families, for 49 euros per week, can reserver one sun lounger for each person plus an umbrella and their own dining table.
One of the firm’s managers, Peter Fankhauser, said that “with this we’re relieving our clients of early morning stress”.
He was quoted as saying he too found it “really tiresome” on vacation to be sent out early in the morning to place beach towels on poolside loungers, Sueddeutsche Zeitung reported.

Freedom4sale, the Canary Island property portal, have launched a new property news index. There is a wealth of property news on the freedom4sale web site but the great new thing is that now it is in date order as well as alphabetical order.

Holidays in Famara, Lanzarote
Many holiday makers visiting the island of Lanzarote have only one magical place they head straight for, that place is Famara. Even on a world wide scale a holiday in Famara can rival most any other location. Beautiful, wild and dramatic are the words that probably sum up Famara the best. A 700 metre vertical cliff back drop round out into a 4 kilometre long golden sand beach which in turn leads onto the sea with its year round surf and kitesurf conditions.
Staying in Famara
A self catering holiday in Famara is the one and only most popular choice for visitors to the area. There are two areas to find your accommodation, that of the town of Famara (Caleta de Famara) or the Famara bungalows.
Famara town is a small and sleepy relaxed fishing village with a fine sprinkling of restaurants, shops, bars, surf and kitesurf shops with rental and training courses.
Famara bungalows
The Famara bungalows are located a few hundred metres from the Famara town on the slopes leading to the beach. Each bungalow is on its own 1000 metre plot, each bungalow has a full glass frontage, large terrace and amazing sea and sunset views. If not your first then certainly your second visit to the area will be in a Famara bungalow.
