Lunch With Hashers

Yesterday's walk totalled right around 12 kilometers/7.5 miles. 😱 I got back to the main beach area and, knowing it was mostly uphill, took an Uber a couple of kilometers to the area where Target is located. I was hoping for a pedicure, but they didn't have time for a walk in. So, I made an appointment for tomorrow and popped in the cinema next door to look at the schedule.

"Rocketman" was playing at 14:00 and it was 13:57, so I treated myself to the matinee. I enjoyed it because of how Elton John's music was woven into the dialogue. I think I enjoyed this better than "Bohemian Rhapsody."

After the movie, I walked the 2 km back to he beach for a superb dinner of caramelized pork belly at sunset. What a glorious way to end the day. Despite being stuffed--I also had an entree of calamari--I could not resist having a small cup of coconut-rasberry ice cream on the walk back to the hostel.

Full of delicious flavors and knowing how bad my legs, hips, and back were going to hurt tomorrow, I went straight to my room to finish another book, and I was asleep before 21:00.

I woke up at 02:30 in agony from sleeping on my side. My hips were screaming. But fortunately I was able to readjust and get a couple of hours more rest.

I was out of bed around 07:00 and out of the hostel at about 08:00. I had a lovely poached egg breakfast, then actually found a swimsuit that fits without underwire. I also replenished some shower stuff, then hung on the beach with another book until my 10:30-11:30 massage. Ooooohhhhh yeeeeeaaaaahhhhhh.

Now, Weak As and his wife have collected me and we're off for the Tuesday lunch with the Hashers.

So long [for now] and thanks for all the fish. ✌️Baca selengkapnya
