The first day of our Barbados holiday has been interspersed with Apocalypse Now flashbacks.
On the flight over I finished reading Fredrick Forsythe's book, The Kill List. Not his best but a reasonable read. Anyway when, during the finale, the SAS pathfinder team leap from a C-130, they predictably do it to Wagner's Flight of the Valkyries.
Didn't think too much of that until we were at the beach bar last night and a fellow guest had a t-shirt on with the slogan ' I love the smell of napalm in the morning'.
The final thing that made the connection is me lying on the bed with the ceiling fan going round and round and reflecting on the past 24 hours as I write this blog. Very strange.
Anyway we are here, have a good room and been out for supplies. Now its time to hit the beach and get some rays before the serious business starts on Thursday. The hotel is pretty busy, lots of repeat visitors and SWMBO is chilling out. Rock and roll!
