Day 3

A very lazy start to the day, breakfast and then lazing in the lounger by the sea.  I even had a couple of swims, although the crystal clear water was a little fresh. Not much to say really except that I am enjoying my novel, Marian Keys - The Break..

After lunch Sherron and I wandered down to the township where I managed to purchase a few small items. The conversion is a bit tricky, I I have sorted it and there should be no surprise astronomically priced items on the visa. We have been trying to arrange a tour for Wednesday, but can find nothing suitable. We went into one agencie de tourisme and everything was in another language, and it wasn't French. They obviously only catered for Asian tourists. So we still have nothing sorted. 

The evening activities were kicked off with a drink in the bar. The Kiwi contingent had organised a blackout. Where we would all wear black. The Australians were not aware of this plan, however you could see the penny start to drop as more and more Kiwis arrived in Allblack and all black tshirts. Several Chou chou (a small tourist train that drives on the road) picked us up and delivered us to a brew bar, Les 3 Brasseurs, that served pizza. We were upstairs on the balcony, which happened to be a great spot. Until the food arrived, we seemed to be the 'no mans land table' and eventually Sherron and I had to go to the kitchen to accost a waitress. The pizza was okay, the base was super thin, the waitress likened it to a pizza crepe. However they arrived so infrequently that they were inhaled by the table and taste didn't really come into it. They served their own brew of beer and which by all accounts was pretty good. However the wine was 'hang over wine' so I didn't partake in too much.  At 9:30pm buses arrived to pick us up and we carried on in the resort bar (decent wine, Villa Maria).
