A Laid Back Day

Another extra hour in bed last night, which is always welcome and we still have another 2 hours to lose. This is definitely the right direction to be going around the world.

After the gym this morning, we decided to take it easy and just have a day around the pool, in the shade, on the double loungers they have around the outside of the pool area. The loungers seems to be designed for people about 5ft tall, so not the most comfortable but I made the best of it, all day long. Interspersed with the lots of iced water, the odd proper drink, lunch and at the height of the heat of the day a waiter coming round and handing out chilled, wet towels, that was so nice.

Unfortunately I put my name down for a spin class in the gym at 4pm, I really could have done without that after a relaxing day like today.

I'd only been thinking a couple of hours earlier that despite all the complementary alcohol you don't actually see anyone drunk. Then at the 'name that tune' quiz, at 10:30pm, the three of us were joined by Kevin, a 70 something guy from Durban who was well oiled. However, despite this he reeled off obscure show tune after obscure show tune. We finished with 12 out of 15 correct, good enough for 3rd place. We later went through the answers and between the 3 of us we would have got 5 right. So if you ever see a waddling South African late at night, never judge a book by it's cover.Read more
