A quiet day at the resort today, lay on the lounger out under the tree's by our room. A breeze came up for the first time today and it was wonderful- took away the humidity for the morning.
Went for a walk up behind the golf course, which is a hua of a hill, then paddled around in the lagoon while the tide was out. I picked up a small cream starfish and when you turn it over, all these individual tentacles came out to try and turn itself over- was fascinating.
Finished reading a book today which is a good way to measure if you are relaxing!!
In the afternoon we caught the ferry over to Erakor (ear -a-core) island for our usual cocktail and a beer- very nice sitting looking back over the lagoon. The barman there is getting to know us well !!
Came back and had a nanna nap, have found that when you go outside and get so hot just moving around here, you tend to fall asleep straight away if you lay down afterwards in the air cond. room!
We sat and had our usual drinks with Sherlie and John before dinner, then went to the grill by the pool for a t-bone steak dinner. Was lovely, but as it gets dark here early, it was a bit hard to see what you are eating!!
Said our goodbyes to the Reids- they are off at a punishing 5am tomorrow back home to Morrinsville. We are hoping to be joining them in that area as soon as we sell our property - fingers crossed.

Hey - liked the picture of you guys and the Reids, but couldn't tell who was who - just kidding!
Hiya - sounds like sheer hell to me, all that decision making - what to have for brekkie, when to have the first beer, when to cool off in the pool or lagoon. I'm not sure I could keep up with the pace! Yip you've got the Lennox's drooling! :)
Enjoy every last minute of it!
All good here, have kicked the bugs so everyone happy & healthy again. Otherwise just doing the same old same old here.

Hey you two!
Great to hear you having a nice relaxing time while we hold your end up back home!! I second Sue's notion - such dilemmas when one can't decide whether to indulge in a cold beer or a dip in the lagoon or snorkelling first!! Ha - but bloody good on you - you both deserve a good break.
All is well in Hammers. Work flat out today but managaeable - we are moving office tomorrow and Friday so trying to pack personal bits in boxes before the movers come Friday to take everything away. So when you come to work on Wed - our new office is in Percival Flats, where Belinda MacFie is, sort of behind CDC. Give us a bell Tues and I'll explain all. Have tried as best i can to secure a window seat - so will see how we go!!
Other than that - relay for life over the weekend rocked. Our team raised $1000 and there were 117 teams so thinking that overall a good amound was raised. Was a blast and enjoyed my first night away from my baby since she was born!! Although I was thrilled she and Gareth turned up for breakfast the next morning cos I was hanging out for a cuddle and one of her infectious smiles!! (Oh yeah and too see my husband too!)
Well - make the most of your last few days - you've sure been doing it tough until now!!

Hi Graeme and Denise
Have to agree with the previous posts. It really must be very difficult with those beer/swim/ sleep decisions. I hope you guys aren't so exhausted that you'll need another holiday.
Anyway soak it up and enjoy. Graeme we've been saving a Unit 1 two shift specially for you on your first night back!
Cheers
Mark
