Christmas Day Island style

Gili Meno, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia
Long night that's what you get for going to bed early. 
A Skype session with Kristian and Kate but due to the net being so slow it ended up being a phone call with then and Mum and Dad C . Messenger message to and From Jill and heaps a lovely Facebook msgs made it feel like Christmas a bit. 

We swapped our cards we bought me getting a hair voucher for Platinum and John I got him more massages from the massage hut. I told him they would be handy while he is building the deck off the house. 

Off to breaky then a lazy day and now we don't feel full as we have just had normal breaky instead of all the lovely stuff we have for Christmas day but always know it is too much.....

We didn't do much until lunch then wandered up the beach front to nearby restaurant, John had a hamburger partially cooked, I had a prawn cocktail that as soon as it arrived with its 2 prawns I could smell them they were very off... even John could smell them asking what is that smell, me telling him it's the prawns. So I sent them back got the pic first.... such a shame was looking forward to a prawn for Christmas lunch but best not to in some of these out of the way places. I averted a day on the loo I would say got sure if I hadn't bothered to smell them straight up , normally I just taste. But thankfully the nose was on the job today.....

Back for a rest then off to an afternoon of massage and pedicure. I enjoyed mine John wasn't so keen on his massage not up to his standard ha ha.... no he said the one at this resort was more professional but you do get what you pay for, this one was pretty cheap.
Still a good way to finish out Christmas Day off...,

Dinner was at the resort and they went all out with a special Christmas dinner starters were amazing, main really lovely but I could only have a mouthful after entree, I had a mouthful of dessert John had the rest.
Then they had the band playing from the other night a pretty good night all in all.
That was Christmas Day and nope we were over full felt very relaxed enjoyed the different type of day, but miss the family very much!
