Just hanging

The first day of any holiday should be focused on relaxation. The Gorse Fox and Silver Vixen concluded this was a good rule by which to live. We wandered down to breakfast on the terrace. There was an 'a la carte' menu or a buffet. We both opted for the buffet. This offered a huge choice of breads, fruits, cooked items, cold items, yoghurts and cheeses. Perfect.

Strolling back from breakfast the Gorse Fox showed the Silver Vixen the equipment in the gym and we got talking to Jermaine. He works at the resort and was an avid football fan. This gave us a lot of common ground so we chatted for ages. Mid-morning we had a meeting with the Virgin Holidays rep. It didn't take long but was an introduction to the resort and the rep herself.

We returned to the room to get beach-ready. Heading down to sand took us past the restaurant and it seemed silly to just walk past without saying hello. Several coconut shrimp, pina coladas, beers, and a whole fresh coconut later  we finally continued our route to the beach. The Silver Vixen made herself comfortable on a lounger and the Gorse Fox went straight in to sea. It was warm. Not as warm as Thailand, but very very comfortable.

Clouds began to threaten and it was clear that rain was on its way. We packed up and just got back to our room before the heavy rain hit. It probably won't last long, but it's better to stay dry.
