3/3/17
After such a busy (nearly) two weeks we were ready for some lazy days by the sea. The Imagine Villa hotel is ideal for some quiet R&R. Just a few mature guests. Plenty of staff who are pleasant and helpful. Place is kept clean and tidy. Food last night was superb, eaten in the garden to the sound of the waves. No light pollution so beautiful waning crescent moon and a sky full of stars.
Breakfast feast also by the sea freshly prepared and served to the table. So nice after too many buffet restaurants.
Took our first tuk tuk into Mirissa about 10 mins away. Lovely bay with safe swimming and some small surfing waves. Typical touristy spot popular with the back packers so lined with cheap and cheerful beach cafes. But really not busy. Had a nice wander along the beach. Failed to find any worthwhile shops...don't think there are any...so after a quick refreshment stop we headed back to the calm, clean oasis of our hotel. Tourism effect at its worse when you see locals with a chained monkey trying to get money for photo opportunity in Mirissa but I was pleased to see that nearly everyone showed their displeasure at the sorry sight.
The sea breeze makes the sun deceptive so despite the sun cream we are both looking well cooked tonight. It was lovely to take in the sun dip in the empty pool and order an iced drink from time to time.
Chef is cooking up his special rice and curry tonight....looking forward to that and finishing off my complimentary wine.
The housekeeping guys decorated our bed with anniversary message. .again a nice touch. Think we will have a nice few days here.
The picture of the fish and turtles is from the water feature in the hotel lobby.
