The celebrations are continuing, another wild night last night, but first.......
Started the day with the challenge to paddle around the Island on Kayaks. Three teams, two in each boat and away they went. After 30 mins the rules had to be re written as the leading Team disembarked at the northern end of the Island and were found at the pool bar drinking cocktails (10.30 am !!!)
All teams eventually completed the course and then the tennis comps started.
Pre-lunch drinks followed at one of the several bars on the island, and then yet another delicious meal of mango salad, duck, rice, and Asian vegetables. The island previously had a mango plantation, so these trees produce plentiful supplies of fruit for the guests.
To work off our lunch there were more physical activities - wind surfing, more kayaking, and yachting on lasers. Also swimming and snorkelling.
The resort has a "Kids Club" which provides supervised activities to entertain the children. Every evening they have a treasure hunt, and after their dinner a movie is shown on a big screen whilst they lie in bean bags on the sand. So far during the day they have made a bow and arrow set, hunting knife with scabbard (made from soft local wood) and a sword that they must take with them when venturing on the daily environmental interpretation walks. Yesterday there was even a coconut tree climbing lesson for the older children to try it for themselves. (very successful and safe with harness)
They were also taught to ride the" flying fox" (a cable strung between two large trees)
After a long drawn out session of pre dinner drinks and a dinner of seafood, we then took Judy into the home theatre area and played a DVD of her life story in photos. More tears and much laughter to complete an amazing family bonding day.
Can this get any better !!!!
