And the beach goes on

Yesterday evening we caught the shuttle to the sister resort. It was only a couple of minutes away but you are expected to use the official transport for safety. We had reservations at a Japanese restaurant called Kimonos. We were ushered to our station and took our place amid 6 other couples. The chef arrived and the show began. We have seen the knife skills, the juggling and the cooking before but it is always fun to watch. The people with whom we sat were a charisma-free zone and nobody really interacted, thought the Gorse Fox did manage to get a conversation going with a US Navy air mechanic. The food arrived and was tasty but to be truthful we have had better and seen better.

Back in our resort we took a seat on the terrace and sipped at our drinks while enjoying the band who were playing some background chill-out music. A pleasant end to the day.

This morning started, the first time at 01:18. The Gorse Fox muttered something meaning "don't be so silly", turned over and stayed put until about 06:00 when he plonked himself on a chair with his book and waited to hear the Silver Vixen stir. Then it was time for some life giving fluids - tea and coffee before the Gorse Fox headed across to the gym. He trusts that you are impressed that he is keeping it up so far.

A shower then we headed for breakfast. Nothing too special there but the Gorse Fox did have some coconut-poached snapper instead of eggs. Well it makes a change and was certainly tasty. We got chatting to a nice couple from Cumbria who the Gorse Fox had seen in the gym earlier. No doubt we will see more of them during the week.
