I am currently writing from the sunlounger next to our personal plunge pool\/jacuzzi.\u00a0 Kathryn is currently at the Spa enjoying a deep cleansing facial treatment and should be there for the next hour or so.<\/p>\n

Yesterday we both treated ourselves to a revitalizing treatment that included a foot bath, body scrub, all over deep massage, moisterising and a head massage.\u00a0 It was part of a discount offer for new arrivals – within about 2 minutes of getting back K was booking her next treatment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We have a small reef just off the back of our villa and I’ve had a bit of an explore – Kathryn had a fish smile at her upon which she decided that snorkelling wasn’t her thing.\u00a0 Yesterday afternoon I went on a snorkelling trip and we went round a series of reefs on a boat.\u00a0 There is another trip later in the week where you might be able to see rays, (small) sharks and turtles.\u00a0 I’ve put a couple of photos up onto flickr and our photogallery but the islands satellite internet link wasn’t keen on the full half a gig of photos!<\/p>\n

One last word about the food – the first night here we ate in the underwater Ithaa restaurant, it’s the top restaurant in the resort but it was our one week anniversary!\u00a0 I won’t say any more as I think Kathryn was keen on writing about that experience.\u00a0 Last night however we went to the standard buffet restaurant and I have to say it was great – the choice was massive and varied.\u00a0 We both went for the Indian option and ate a massive meal followed by two different desserts.\u00a0 If she’d had room I think K would have had 8!\u00a0 We also had breakfast this morning and again the choice is excellent even if I did end up going for beans on toast – it’s funny how the heat makes you less hungry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
