Holiday, did I just type “holiday”, wow what’s that?
Usually for me, it involves hundreds of kays traveled upon my trusty motorcycle to places far & wide for the sheer pleasure of it. Sometimes staying in some beautiful places (country towns) where ah, the accommodation isn’t exactly 5 star (lucky to be a “star” sometimes…LOL). However, NOT THIS TIME!!! no sir re, we are living the high life in a penthouse apartment opposite the beach – complete with all the creature comforts Karl, Ella & I could ask for (after all we deserve it – right!).
After settling in yesterday, I took the afternoon to check out the local gourmet boutiques (you aren’t in the west now Kimmie). WOW, there are some beautiful things with what I call not so beautiful prices (lol), but in true style I snagged a bargain (a fashionable piece to go over my swimmers – win).
Take out for dinner (even great chef’s like Karl need to have a break) and couple of ciders and how relaxed are we! We are graced by a visit from a friendly face who traveled far to say HI and to get some milk on is way home….
Off to bed after a hard day (not) and time to wind down.
DAY 2
Not a very good nights sleep – the locals are rowdy and the light is streaming in the bedroom (even with the blinds closed) eventually we dose off but ARGHHH it’s not even 6am!!! and we are awake – what’s going on here??
Breaky – tick, swimmers on – tick,
OK Sweety take me to the beach for our morning walk, swim, etc….. A little heads up here – I am not the beach type, can cope with the sand but out in the water that’s a whole different story. Walk done, now for the swim (I didn’t buy these swimmers for nothing). Karl’s gone in a flash, gettin amongst it while I’m dottering about walking my way in (the water wasn’t that cold) but I hate getting my face wet….LOL (you’re at the beach Kimmie that’s what happens). Anyways, Karl did come back for me & I clamped onto his arm like an octopus and he took me out a bit. Got smashed!! Karl laughed, I spat out sea water…lol – was fun.
Walk back and a stressful day begins. Even Ella has had trouble adapting to the new lifestyle – don’t you think?
