Monday evening and the sun shone all day - again

Suns down again after another lovely hot day here ar the Coral Sea Resort, not to be confuded with the sister complex a few hundred yards along the road, the Coral Sea Village Resort, both used by First Choice.

Must say it has been very good, a healthy breakfast - yes -no fry up, out by the pool by 8.30 a.m., game of boules, causing grief, etc, a good swimming session in the big pool, nice lunch, massage, afternoon tea, and then an hours walk - nealy time for dinner.





Last night we were getting a bit hot under the collar, sitting watching a couple of the barmen who were really top notch, in both bars we were in the lads were really kept going with a more or less constant stream, and somtimes a queue of guests. NOW, I appreciate that this is an all inclusive and that the drink is built into the price, however, I have been in places where the waiters were so slow, did not care who was waiting,a nd in one hotel nealy caused a riot because of their attitude. Totally opposite here, but did the guests really appreciate the service - do not think so, we sat and watched, hand on heart, there must have been at least one hundred drinks served, and did anyone put their hand in their pocket - ( miserable so and so's not on your nellie). I suspect that it must have been an Englishman who said that the Scot's were miserable, to take the heat off themselves.


Enough - time for dinner.
