Day One...

So...after a hellish flight and a decent night's sleep, yesterday was spent mostly mooching on the beach barefoot, picking up shells and feeling very 'Tenko' and then an afternoon nap.
Learning by experience, even in that short walk I burned...and shoes are definitely required on the paths!! Hot hot hot!
But oh so lovely, beautiful vistas across the beach and South China Sea.

Came back hot but contented, stopped off at the aid station for chilled drinking water - yep it is free from huge iced dispensers!
No lugging heavy bottles about... #5starbaby

I ended my first day with a meal in the hotel Italian restaurant, their minestrone was perfect and served traditionally, but the gnocchi was instantly forgettable...

I walked out of restaurant to find burning fountains and beautifully lit pools looking exotic and serene....


Couple more days unwinding in the hotel and I'll be ready for some trips....

It is. Hotel is huge with lots of facilities which means plenty of space for everyone...and the gardens are glorious after dark xx
