This day was uneventful, I didn\u2019t do much of anything at all! To be fair, it was drizzling most of the day so it wasn\u2019t the nicest weather to be out and about. I really don\u2019t think I did much. I slept, probably wasted time on my iPad, tried to make plans for activities I wanted to do for the rest of the week. I think I had coffee in my room. For lunch I had the lettuce, chicken and mayo sandwich. It was nice, it was a sandwich. In the evening I started my cocktail tour with a Pina Colada &#8211; it was good! I\u2019d had normal fish and chips the night before, so I thought I\u2019d have the grilled fish and chips at the pool bar. I wasn\u2019t disappointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wow, what an uneventful day. However it does give rise to a dilemma I have, especially with holidays on the shorter side. On one hand, I\u2019m in another country, I flew 7 hours to get here, I want to explore, go about and do things. The other hand, I\u2019ve just come of an exhausting camp, the few weeks before that were also exhausting, I want to eat, sleep, read and watch mindless TV shows. Yes I can do that at home. But it\u2019s not as relaxing, it\u2019s not away, it\u2019s not the same. I don\u2019t have a solution, but it is a tension I feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dinner has arrived and I\u2019m back in my room, so let\u2019s make this a short post. No pictures sorry, but I promise the ones in the days to come are pretty good. Let\u2019s see if I manage to pick the blog up again after I\u2019ve eaten. Then again it might be a good airport \/ plan activity tomorrow\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Still setting on the deck, and having just ordered dinner we\u2019ve made it to Wednesday!
