Arrive at our 2nd home

Saturday was a LONG day, up at 5.30am, take off at 9am & arrive at Chaba Cabana at 10pm Sydney time. Missed Happy Hour as they have changed it to 4-5pm, used to be 5-6pm, would have scraped in by 10 minutes, bugger. The bill that night was therefore quite large as we drank ourselves to sleep around 1.3am Sydney time.

Opened our room door and the Front Office Manager had decorated it beyond belief.

Cloud cut-outs stuck on the mirror with Happy Honeymoon Ian & Amanda & a print of one of our wedding photo's we sent them.

Towels on the bed shaped into swans with petals shaped as a heart & other petals strewn all over the room, took ages to clean up so we could get to bed. Also a lovely cake with Happy Honeymoon written on it. (see above photo's)

They are so over the top here, big hugs and kisses from all the staff as we continued to bump into them in the first 3 days.

Bloody hot and humid at the moment, 35 degrees, though yesterday, Tuesday, we had 2 huge storms, awesome rain & thunder.

Haven't even managed to get down to the town as yet, but that can wait.

The devaluing of the Thai Baht means our $ has been deflated by 30% so having to watch our money as eveything is far more expensive, but we'll get used to it. Not many people are here at all, Chaba is only around 50% occupancy and everyone is saying it's been very quiet since the airport sit-in, such a shame as nothing is differant at all, people just get scared about little things like that, but it's going to take quite a while 'til it picks up again.

Anyway, I'm heading to the supermarket, dropping off the washing then back to the wife at the pool.

Take care all & look forward to seeing yolu all when we return on Easter Sunday.
