Monday 27th

Up early (3:30) after a reasonable sleep. It was lovely to talk to so many via FaceTime. 12 hours flying and we can still talk face to face, withou wires, as Jackie would say. 

We are now breakfasted, having had a very leisurely feast to set us up for the day. Freshly made cheese and mushroom omelette with a side of sautéed mushrooms, followed by toast and fresh fruit. Lovely. I drew the line at chicken curry, jalfrezi and noodles!!

Explored the hotel a little and found this beautiful azalea display  I thought it was maybe artificial but it isn't. 

We then went to check out the swimming pool again. Can't wait to get into after our morning tour.

This beautiful orchid is next to the pool. 

So now we are getting ready to go out for our morning tour, which we are both looking forward to. 

More later.
