Relaxing....

21st February 2018 – Relaxing

The wedding on the croquet lawn

We had a lazy day today.   We all woke up at 5am as have been programmed to do so by the wildlife parks.  We met for breakfast at 9am and had a sumptuous banquet.  The buffet choice is enormous and I would defy anyone not to find something they liked.

Paddling in the Indian Ocean

We then went for a wander and passed the wedding on the lawn which looked to be a very grand affair.  Next up was a paddle in the Indian Ocean which was actually nice and warm, but with a strong undertow.  We enjoyed watching some crabs scuttling along the sand and digging their burrows.  We wandered along the beach and checked out some shack restaurants and bars with an eye for eating in one of them tonight.  We had a drink in Pearl’s beach bar and then retired to our rooms for the afternoon to escape the heat and just relax and unwind.

We met again just after 6pm and walked along the beach to Betsy’s Shade shack where we had some cocktails followed by prawns cooked in garlic as a starter.  Mum and I then had the stuffed crab and Chris had the pomfret – all delicious.  The restaurant them magicked up a small 4 wheel drive sort of golf cart that took us  back to the hotel – was very glad not to have to walk back along the beach in the dark.

All in all – a lazy day but relaxing which is what we all wanted.
