Here we go here we go here we go

I had parrot fish for supper last night, I had parrot fish for supper last night. Before that, of course, we watched the England football with a few other footie supporters. Beer was on offer so a few were taken. This is Winter here in the Seychelles and boy did we know it last night as the heavens opened. Just the sort of rain that's needed at home, but not here as it wiped out the TV feed for the Russia v Croatia game just as Russia went 1-0 up.

Earlier in the day SWMBO joined me in the golf buggy and took a shot at the downhill 15th featured in the last post. Her ball is somewhere in the jungle as, to be fair, is mine.  Seven balls lost between us but the green staff have kept us topped up with spares as needed. One more round to try to hit the green on 15 and to improve my eclectic, then off to Mauritius for holiday part 2.

Today is a chill day and tan top-up but still a bit overcast. We have become minor resort celebs as we have had extended loan of the golf buggy for a couple of days while everybody else has to walk. Might hit the gym this afternoon though!!

Birthday pens

Blimey it has been busy. On Saturday we hosted a party for SWMBO in the Racquets Club in Liverpool. It was the start of her 60th birthday celebrations, and was well organised by the children so she had to no nothing except enjoy herself. She did that right enough!

On Sunday we did bbq and cake for the ankle biters at Becky's before packing for the next bit of her birthday adventure.

So on Monday we set off on an Emirates Airbus to Dubai. A quick change into a Boeing 777 and we ended up on Mahe in the Seychelles. It was then unexpectedly quick to arrange a 20 minute transfer to our hotel in Praslin. We flew on a De Havilland twin prop Club. 15 seats and a view through the cockpit made for an interesting take off and landing.

The hotel is part of the Constance group and has the only 18 hole golf course in the Seychelles, what a surprise!! Last night though we ate then crashed hoping to wake for the Columbia v England footie. It finished at 01:30 local time so we are chilling today ready for the delights ahead. Photo's will follow!!

So Harry, Gareth and the boys give us an extra treat for Saturday afternoon. Is it really coming home?
