Wed 13th<\/sup><\/p>\n

I woke at 8am but, very unusually, David was still asleep so I tried to lay still and quiet so as not to disturb him.\u00a0 By 8.40 he was still asleep and I had a feeling that breakfast finished being served by 9.15 so gently kissed him awake and we dressed and went over to the restaurant.\u00a0 As with last night, and all meals to follow, there were the different cultural cuisine sections.\u00a0\u00a0 The western foods had things like omelettes made fresh with ingredients of your choice while you wait, sausages, fried eggs, baby hash browns, hot tomatoes, then the dessert section had pancakes (and on other days crepes or waffles).\u00a0 The pancakes were a different flavour every day so we got coconut, grated apple, sultana, plain and there were accompanying bowls of maple syrup, honey, chocolate or strawberry sauce.\u00a0 Well to be honest, I think I had pancakes every day.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t go for the aforementioned hot foods that David mainly stuck with.\u00a0 There was also a section for pastries and we both gave that quite a run for its money most days with the croissants, Danish pastries, muffins etc.\u00a0\u00a0 There was a bread section with a toaster which we really didn\u2019t use, a section with yogurts, jams, marmalades and butter, plus all of the Asian cuisine areas that quite turned our stomachs for breakfast.\u00a0\u00a0 Rice, pumpkin and all manner of things I would only eat for dinner, not at this hour of the morning.\u00a0 But each to their own.\u00a0 Here\u2019s the fruit table which I have not mentioned yet.\u00a0 This actual photo was taken on 14th<\/sup> July for the French Bastille Day celebrations, but you get the idea anyway.<\/p>\n

Fruit Table<\/p><\/div>\n

We had a family on one side of us who had barged through a narrow gap between the tables making a heavily-laden waiter stand aside for them so we knew they were not our kind of people but another lady with a little girl came and sat the other side and smiled and we struck up quite a lovely conversation.\u00a0 It turned out she was from Yallingup, a couple of hours drive south from where we live.\u00a0 She was gorgeous and it was a lovely friendly start to our day.<\/p>\n

Two Dragons<\/p><\/div>\n

The restaurant was upstairs with all sorts of seating sections hidden around corners but the main \u2018outdoor\u2019 area (open at the sides but with a roof) looked out over the main pool and had a richly decorated ceiling with 2 huge wooden dragons which were very impressive.\u00a0 Their heads met at the spot where everyone entered the restaurant.<\/p>\n

During our meal we saw the most delightful little squirrel scampering along the wooden balcony balustrade.\u00a0 His gait was a tiny, fast scamper with all 4 legs at once and then a hesitation with his little tail aquiver to see if he needed to retreat and he certainly won a lot of attention and a lot of hearts!\u00a0 He stole a potato gem from my plate and retreated to the safely a roof beam to eat it.<\/p>\n

The crowning glory was when the people 2 tables away left and the little tyke sat himself down for a feast in style!!!\u00a0 Muffin with a fruit salad lined up to follow LOL<\/p>\n
