Weekend

Once we got to the Novotel Lami Bay Resort  we were checked into the ground floor near the pool. Beautiful view of the bay and pool.
We had a shower since we had been traveling for over 24 hours. Decided we were hungry and went for brunch in the open air dining room. I had the most marvelous fish curry and Jim had the Nasi Goreng. Had them bring me a coffee that I still rave about. After the crappy airline coffees this was dark roasted and had a nice froth on top with a little heart shaped on top. After that wonderful meal we went for a walk to the Lami grocery store (Shop and Save), got paper towels, more Kleenex and water. You know you are a stranger in a strange land when people are looking at you strangely!

It was very hot and humid walk so when we got back we went for a swim in the pool and dried up on deck.. Didn't realize how hot it was so Jim burned the top of his head. The sun down here is really strong. Do not realize it when the cooling breeze from the ocean is on you. We then laid down and slept soundly for 4 hours which would have been around 8. Figured we better stay up for a few hours to get into the time zone.




Sunday we partook of their wonderful breakfast on the open patio. They even had gluten free pancakes and they were delicious with eggs, bacon and sausages. We went for another walk the other way but there really wasn't anything nice to see. Shacks, cement factory.....very poor country, third world someone might say.
Later on we sat up on the deck and I had something I had tried earlier a "Bus Ride" Gin, triple sec and cranberry juice. Really yummy. Jim had Shaken but not Stirred Martini's. Nice buzz and went and had another lovely meal. End of the weekend. Really feeling like we are in Paradise. Too bad Jim has to go to work tomorrow
