After a bad night suffering from the most unbelievable indigestion and having to listen to an arrogant bunch downstairs around the pool till about 2:30am (I paid extra for the privilege of having a pool view but can only see the pool if I look straight down as if committing suicide and as an extra get the noise from the pool) I slept until 9:00am.
Not wanting to have another day of shopping centers and being so far away from anything I wanted to do I spent the rest of the morning hanging out in my room, googling, reading and sleeping. eventually I wander down to the pool and immerse myself in the warm bubbling water of the spa. The bubbles enveloped me and sent me into a calm space that I really needed to be in. From there a dip in the cold pool bought me back to life before I plonked myself on a deck chair where I sat for some time reading my book. Its a tough life.
Eventually hunger got the better of me and I indulged in a divine Ahi tuna salad, very very yum. The barman where I sat eating was the friendliest person I had struck at the hotel and chatting to him was a pleasant respite from the grumpiness of everyone else.
Soon it was time to go back to reality and get dressed ready to go meet my nephew and his lady. I hadn't seen Alexis in 30 years and was really looking forward to it.
I wander downstairs and as I look in the direction of a wee mini parked outside the hotel I see my brothers profile and know that Alexis was there, in that car. Tap Tap on the window and there he is. Just as handsome as he is in the photos and on the other side of the car I meet his lovely lady Varia; so so beautiful.
We had a lovely evening, dining on super sushi and then they took me for an espresso IN A CUP. Before we bade our goodbyes Varia gave me some details about a nice shopping area that I could go to the next day when I had hours to kill before my flight. Yay.
What a lovely end to a lovely day.xx
