It was our wedding anniversary, we exchanged cards, had a cup of tea in bed, then down to breakfast and a day on the beach. We found sun beds on the end of the jetty, the best place to be. Midday it started getting dark and so we went to the beach bar for a drink. About 10 minutes later there was a mass exodus from the beach as the rain started. We came back into the main building to have lunch and a couple of drinks and then the storm started. To be honest in weather like this there was little to do indoors, so we played cards and read books. I think the majority of guests were German but we did hear mutterings from a few Brits saying they may as well get a plane home!
Mal wasn’t feeling too well and so we went back to the room and he just zonked out until there was a knock on the door and a waiter was standing there with a trolley, saying ‘for your wedding’ and then pointed to his finger. I think the anniversary word had escaped him. He wheeled in a bottle of wine, two glasses and a huge wrapped plate of fruit and a card ‘with the compliments of Kervansaray’. I felt so guilty when we had complained! Mal had a glass of wine and a banana and then fell back to sleep again. It is so unusual for him to have a headache and he also had blocked sinuses.
In the evening we booked to go into the a la carte restaurant, Opal, which was the Mexican. Now I can honestly say that this was a 5 star restaurant. They had also decorated only our table with flowers as it was our anniversary. FIVE courses and the food was excellent and well presented and the staff in there were also very attentive. Perhaps we should have eaten in there every night. Mal was beginning to say that the food in the main restaurant all seemed like some sort of stew every mealtime! We took a couple of drinks back to the room and Mal was asleep before I knew it. Poor thing.
