I arrived in the early hours this morning, but then the click went back 4 hours. That screws your body clock up, but at least I can get used to that 4 hours and it will be less of an impact when I get home! On arrival the hotel is very impressive. It is a huge room, huge bed and has everything you could need!
This is the total extreme of what I have been experiencing for the last 4 weeks, not including Sai Kung, of course! I haven't ventured out yet as it is really early in the morning, but I am a bit disappointed with the surrounding building works. Once I get out there, it may not be a much of a building site as it looks from the 14th floor! But I suppose the reality is that it is a modern, up and coming country..... What can you expect!
I had a very enjoyable, civilised. breakfast the morning, then trotted off down the beach for an hour. It was so hot and I had forgotten sun cream. I set off back to the hotel to get some, and dropped off at Starbucks for a nice latte.
Hmmmm .... Very chilled, no rushing!
I was right about the building works, but it's not just my bit, they are building a new strip the whole length of this area, it is easily overlooked once you get on the beach. In may go round the pool when I get back. It is too hot to walk around!
I have spent the rest of the day around the pool! Improved my tan a bit. Had a rest from sunbathing a couple of times when I got a drink, otherwise.... Day done. Tonight before dinner I spoke to the travel bloke and booked a few trips. Going on a night safari in the desert, a Dubai tour, and going up the Burj Khalife....that's all I can fit in!
Dinner was lovely. I just popped out to the ATM for the cash to pay for my trips.... A quick £200 and I didn't even see it coming! I think it'll be worth it as its hard doing stuff on your own... Lol I just stopped off at Starbucks for a coffee as I get free wifi here. It is £20 an hour in the hotel! Then it'll be back
to my room for a bit of world news!

Hi Hotel looks very posh, dont try and fit that dressing gown into your travel bag. Bet it all feels lovely but I bet after a couple of days of r&r you will be raring to go again.It is quite a building site isn't it but round the pool looks lovely. Was it a good move pre-booking dinner as £20 wi fi an hour doesn't bode well for the cost of everything else.Enjoy your luxury and keep you eye out for an ultra rich sheik ;0) Soooo excited about my yoga trousers yikes. xxxx
