Today we rose later first bit of a sleep in, headed to check out the breaky menu as always we seem to be the only ones at restaurants when we travel. Either no one else eats but us or they all come much much later... I think the later.
Anyway we always get attentive service when there are at least 6 staff to look after 2 people
.
We shared a breaky as I now only eat a sparrows amount of food even with sharing I had to take back to the room most of my very slim pickings to have later.
We decided to wander up past karma to see what else is on offer here only going for a short wander. This turned into a 3 hr wander around the whole outside of the island.
It was a fascinating wander not only did we get to see dozens of tiny and not so tiny resorts, bungalows and home stays, but also 2 very very large abandoned resorts. Huge empty stagnate pools and caved in buildings very sad to see.
We walked past a few people but and watched some of the locals building new resorts, new boats or just lazing around the island pace is slow, slow, slow.......
At breakfast we watched 4 guys raking the coral from off the front of the resort tiny beach front. That took all day and on looking at it the next day it still wasn't complete ha ha, as I said slow, slow, slow!!!
Half way around we stopped for a cool fresh juice drink and a banana pancake to share I always love the Asian bananas they are always so sweet.
Back on track to see towards the end some amazing very up market resorts one called SERI like Apple's Seri. Very white very slick and very nice....
Afternoon John went to have his usual treat a massage while I read the paper I bought with me, but after 2 hrs and by now it was 4pm I was hungry so set off by myself to find somewhere to eat.
I did and as it turned out I arrived at Happy hour so got a Mojo to have with brochette
. Then John arrived all greasy cause he couldn't get into the unit I had the Key.
The young guy serving us couldn't get over how hairy John is I am laughing as he is touching Johns very greasy standing up hairs on his arms, John was not impressed I could help but think it was hilarious ha ha ha ha...... The young guy kept commenting on the fact John has so much hair, and one can't deny he has,,,,,,
While there I watched a lady married to a Balinese with twins very cute little ones I was sure were girls as they both had little pony tails on the tops of the heads. But no they were boys, still very cute she sounded as if she were from Germany of somewhere in the Baltic area.
Then as we are eating a guy who was working on the building beside us just laid down on the boards sticking over the water's edge and yep went promptly to sleep. As I said island life is slow, slow, slow!!!! Was so funny to watch he was still there when we left about 3/4 hr later.
Another rest then for John the 5th shower of the day as he isn't coping with the heat like he used to and off to find somewhere different for dinner.
We did a very quiet relaxing little restaurant with the high tide waves nearly getting us every time they came in but only got a little wet as we sat and had a Pizza.
Day over we came back to watch TV but there was an outage of some type so no TV to bed early well we are here for R & R. Day Done
