A beautiful sunrise, followed by a sunny morning. We had been told to expect showers. It is like walking on velvet here when we walk on the beach after the tide goes out - beautiful.
How many times can I use the words: beautiful, amazing, incredible? Well it is.
Breakfasted alone on the veranda: fruit juice, cereal and pastries. Then we spent the morning in our beach banda (like a private "tented" area on the beachfront with a huge double bed inside and two sun loungers outside). Roy had a Thai massage. The masseur promised to sort his shoulder out "90%" in two sessions.
For lunch, we ate veggie pizza/carbonara for starters. Lobster/Pork for main and passionfruit sorbet to finish. And Chardonnay. After lunch, we phoned home and it was lovely to speak to mum and dad.
Then we went walking in the lagoon. We couldn't find any starfish, but we did see plenty of sea urchins! Lucky that we'd put aqua shoes on..............
Then it was time for afternoon tea. I don't think an hour goes by without food or drink here. Later on we walked over to the local shops at Breezes hotel and on the beach, and we bought some souvenirs. Then back home. We thought we'd missed sundowners, but out of nowhere, our butler appeared with cocktails and mini pizzas, plus this evening's dinner menu. Choices to start were hot crab & crostini, smoked sailfish/cream cheese on toast, or potato bhaji with coconut chutney. Then swahili chicken curry with mango chutney or mixed seafood. Followed by tropical fruit soup with vanilla ice cream. It was good - as usual - but not the best we had here.
After dinner we took coffee on the veranda and chatted with Kathleen and Dave. This was our latest night ever, must have been 11.30pm before we got to bed...............
