will talk about spas and boa constrictors

The days are merging into one long haze of sunshine then thunder storms, cocktails then snoozing, eating then snoozing and lovely family time.

Occasionally there are moments of bliss and exhileration.

For Colton this means steering the boats.

For the divers it's exploring the depths.

Finding unexpected treasures.

Manda, Jen and Emma relaxing poolside before beauty treatments.

Mey's mother Mary and I being mani-pedi-ied....

......which brings us to the boa constrictor. While we were being pampered in this tropical garden there was a boa constrictor lurking in the undergrowth.
It was discovered by one of the beauticians as she stepped on it when she went to fill the water jug. There went the serenity!!!
Screams and the little dog living there being taken to safety.
The story doesn't end well for the snake, but we managed to carry on undaunted.

My brother in law Tony interracting with the dolphins (thankfully not a boa or shark in sight)

The evenings are very beautiful.

...and as it's 4th July, there's a fiesta, complete with limbo competitions. I'm happy to say that our party took out the junior and senior events. Here's Emma demonstrating her prowess.


Today is Wedding Day.

The bride and groom have returned to the spa to have some private time and work on their vows.
Paul and Myles and the 4 diving Boersens have gone out for their final dive for the day.
The rest of us are chilling...

So, depending on the level of hangover, the next post will show you the shenanigans.

  2. Well I think we might be cleaning up the boat on the weekend ready for a new helmsman - or at least booking a putt putt boat on the river for our next visit to Sydney! Seamanship seems to have been effortlessly passed from father to daughter to son. Not that it's his only talent - we've found he's pretty good in a coffee shop - and perhaps the blog demonstrates that there's a genetic factor there too - even though we usually get the blame. Glad you're managing to chill despite the rather challenging wild life. Our best wishes for a fabulous celebration day - looking forward to sharing it.
