This time next week, life will have almost gone back to normal – I have the day off work but Mel will be back at school
Mel and I missed our morning dip in the ocean – didn't wake until just before 8 – probably should say when Mel woke me!! Mel went straight to breaky whilst, much to her annoyance, I went and jumped in the pool to wake up. Had a pool-side shower then pulled on a skirt and top and proceeded to breaky. As well as breaky, I managed to fill Mums bag up with 5 or 6 rolls of varying kinds, ½ dozen bananas (remembering that these are no bigger than 10cm) and a few slices of cheese. This is our lunch – Mum takes food every day – quietly and secretly placing food in her bag – usually only enough for what we need for lunch. We went for a stroll to the internet shop and spent an hour on-line. (Mum and Dad on one computer and Mel and I on another). The lady started up a game for Mel on another computer as she was bored as I typed up emails. Only
problem, I had to keep playing game for her as she typed Kyla an email.
Back to hotel. Quick 15 minute shower then up to Nana and Pa's for lunch. Headed back to pool – this time to the very long, small pool. Pa said when they were here last time, the large pool was being renovated so this pool and the bar were in operation. The bar tender used to 'turn on' all the water things in the pool. Pa got out of the pool into bar and hit the switches. He got the correct ones and the fish started squirting water, umbrella started raining and both spas started working. It was fantastic. We weren't the only ones enjoying it. Staff looked a bit confused - how did these things turn on?' and “who turned them on? We didn't say anything!
It started to rain quite heavily so Nana and Pa called it quits and headed to their room. Mel and I stayed swimming. The rain was quite cold so we tried to stay under the water!! Unfortunately didn't stay under water for long – I have burned shoulders. Mel a bit pink but not too bad. Nana had put an
Australian tattoo on Mel's arm – she took it off today in the shower – she is pink all around and white where the tattoo was.
Out of pool finally, showered and wrote postcards (Granny, Dad O'Brien's and Lisa).
We again went to dinner with Nana and Pa. Walked along beach for 15 minutes – saw 2 dead jelly fish. Probably 30 cm round. Headed to restaurant – recommended by Tim. Walked in and waited and waited for table. Finally offered one. Menu on table not in English – finally got offered one. Ordered rice, sweet & sour pork, garlic prawns and chicken. Ended up ordering chicken and prawns again – very nice. Tis only now that I realise that they were GARLIC prawns!!! Bought icy pole on way home as well as a bottle of fanta and biscuits for our room.
Talked to Nana and Pa for 30 minutes then to our room and diary and bed. I'm soooo tired. Hard to stay awake to write diary. Time is 9.40!! Night.
