Reading with my Egyptian Pooch

After another good night's sleep, I woke up to quite some storm outside. When I stepped out of my bungalow, I was welcomed by clouds and wind. So no snorkeling in the morning then, alright.
My first destination was naturally Mila, who welcomed me with a lot of joy. My heart was melting and I promised her to come back as quickly as possible. Naturally, I gulped down my breakfast, got my book and went back to my pooch. I think the next two hours, I just spent next to her, reading, cuddling and from time to time, the receptionist swung by and looked after us. I think he found it quite amusing that I would spend my holidays rather in front of the hotel than inside it. What can I say though: She's just adorable!

In the afternoon, I left her alone for a bit to go to the other side of the bay and have a look at the Coral Sun Beach. Sometimes, customers of ours like to have All inclusive or a pool, so we sell them the Sun Beach instead of the Garden. I quickly found someone who gave me a little tour around the hotel, although I'm quite sure that he didn't get that I was a travel agent. I think, he thought I was a normal customer who'd like to see the hotel before making a booking. I actually never thought that this would be possible to do as a normal tourist... Next time I wanted to look at a hotel, I'd remember that.
But, to be honest, I liked the Coral Garden far better as it was small and calm, no entertainment whatsoever. I couldn't think of anything worse than loud music that I didn't like blurring away every peace and quiet during my holiday. So I quickly returned back to my side of the bay.
There, I had to say goodbye to André and Karin, as they were flying back home today. André gave me his business card (he's a butterfly expert and guide) and I promised to email them once I was back at the office. I honestly never had met such nice customers of ours before that I would gladly share my holidays with again.
The afternoon was quite quiet, involving more reading and cuddling with pooch.
Finally, I told her goodbye for now, as I wanted to do another snorkel trip around the bay. However, apparently I was already too late. So, I decided to sit down at the beach to have a change in reading position. At 6pm,I figured it was time for another visit to Mila. But when I approached the entrance, the receptionist was there and told me that Jessie had taken Mila back to her mother. Honestly, it hit me like a truck. Yes, of course, I remembered that she wanted to look for the mother... But she didn't mention to me that she had found her. And I thought she'd tell me first... But she didn't. And I was found dumbstruck, trying to fight back tears. Mila was giving me company. She was giving me reason. She was my Aluna.2... And now she was gone. Just like that. "You're not crying, are you?", the receptionist asked me and I tried, but the tears just rolled over me. He looked overwhelmed and tried to comfort me. Very nice of him... He said that he could arrange someone to get Mila back for me, but that horrified me even more. He couldn't take her away from her mom, no matter how much it was hurting me at the moment. Deep down, I knew that this was correct and that I was just missing Aluna a lot, if I was very honest with myself. So, I tried to convince him that this wasn't necessary and that it was OK like that... But I don't know if he believed my sobbing. The rest of the night I spent with trying to make sense of my feelings and calm me down. Stupid little heart. Gets way too attached way too fast.Okumaya devam et
