It's a hard life!

Today is the first day in 5 weeks that we have had a full day of just chilling out and it has gone something like this: leisurely breakfast followed by a relax on the deck, a stroll along the beach for 25 minutes which rendered us exhausted and sweating unattractively, retreat to air-conditioned room to cool down, chill on deck, swim/snorkel, dry off then lunchtime drinks. Relax in sun on deck, swim/snorkel, swim in infinity pool, shower, relax. Now typing this on deck before 'island evening'. No idea what the latter entails but I think it may involve very attractive women dancing in grass skirts!
At the bar the barman asked where we were from, when we replied 'London' he looked askance and said 'you don't look as though you're from England, you're all tanned up!' Robert is indeed as tanned as ever whilst I am tanned up on arms and face and have my customary stripes on my back and chest a result of different tops on different days and varying amounts of high-factor suncream!
We will leave Aitutaki tomorrow with very very fond memories and head to California so a personal note to Richard and Jenine: 'THE FREELOADERS ARE ON THEIR WAY'! And I do believe we are in for a hellish ordeal at LA on the immingration front so a very large drink may be the order of the day when we hit Carlsbad! Can't wait to see you guys.

This sounds and looks to be a wonderful place, and I suppose you're planning to return someday for a totally restful holiday! I suppose Robert is now a deep shade of brown and Fiona not far behind! Have you worn grass skirts yourselves yet? Take care on your way to LA. Love you xxxxxxx
