We had the whole place to ourselves all morning and then....
The Belgian (the owner) let more people in. They then spoiled the look of the place, lounging around, drinking, using our pool. Not on.....
Our pink bodies were kept under the sun brolly or fully immersed in water.
Interestingly the pool water is warmer than the shower water. Thought you might like that level of detail.
As it was Sunday I had plenty to do ...I had the Sunday Times, the Mail on Sunday and the dinner menu to read. All v hard work and requires immense concentration. Glad to read that Brexit is still upsetting the Lib Dems,the Labour Party and the House of Lords as well as the MEPs, Scot Nats and now the N Irish.
Good dinner last night. I had the menu of the day again with fresh fish caught in the Indian Ocean cooked by a Sri Lankan.
Mum had an Aussie steak!
After dinner we retired for the night and the zzzzzzzzzzzzz s kicked in.
Morning has broken,just like the first morning it was beautiful sunshine.
I sat on the balcony watching men at work whilst I had a coffee and contemplated another busy day.
As yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away but....we needed to act fast... be German like...plan to get the best sunbeds. Who do you think you are kidding Mr H?
We were first at breakfast... oh no... a boy I think his name was Sue, was there before us. The pressure mounted for the sunbeds.
Under pressure or what....
Relax...don't do it... we were fine everyone else was still in bed. Lovely breakfast plenty of Jam and marmalade, I think this was a Sri Lankan jam company, 'Lady Marmalade' probably the best jam maker in the world.
The clouds came over...the sun ain't gonna shine anymore... every way the wind blows and they went. Here comes the sun.
Sunbed time... mix of sun, shade, pool, sleep, walk, read newspaper, read book.
Good book about 2nd world war, good god it's is a good book.
In my moments of reflective wisdom I thought to myself I would like to teach the world to sing. Daft really and then we ordered 2 cokes.
Animals wise we have only seen the hotel dogs,who let them out? The man walking his cow and a few birds. A few I think it was actually 3 Little Birds. An Albatross?
Meant to mention we went turtle hunting yesterday. It is actually illegal here and we were nearly arrested but I shot the sherrif
,only joking! No turtles
I think I once saw a Dodo or was it a leopard?
Another couple of people arrived today. Not very communicative. They had travelled from Misery.
As if we hadn't done enough today and exhaustion was setting in mum thought it would be a Happy Birthday if I opened a few cards. So I did! I have heard it on the grapevine I am going to be 58.
So dinner time arrived.
Starter some veggie aubergine and feta cheese thing. How did I vote Brexit if I eat this sort of stuff. We both had Aussie steaks. For pudding I had pineapple ravioli. Yes I know what you are thinking.... it was full of sweet for my sweet and sugar for my honey type pudding.
Mum had a tin of fruit salad and carnation milk.
I was volunteered to write today's blog. I was in the navy I know about volunteering.
Mum didn't think we had done much. I beg to differ and reminded her that I alone had walked the dogs, swam a few lengths of the Olympic size pool, went sand surfing, fought against the waves of the Indian Ocean, walked the grounds and had completed multiple furniture moves.
So half a day of more vigorous exercise tomorrow morning and then travel home by taxi, I hope we don't need to stop at the car wash, followed by a long period at the airport, I can hear your mum already saying I'm still waiting, then 2 planes so look above and you will see Jet planes
See you soon.
Love from Serendip/Ceylon/Sr Lanka a beautiful place to holiday. Well done H.
