DAY 4 PART 1

You know when you wake up but your vision isn’t quite clear yet and everything is just out of focus enough that you aren’t quite sure what you’re looking at. Well this was me and I’m laying there with my head to the side waiting for my eyes to focus and someone is shuffling around the room. What is that?? Things come into focus and I’ve got a great view of … the washroom and Andre moves into my line of vision.

“Morning Babes!”

Everything sort of comes back to me from last night and I remember I went to bed angry and now I’m instantly in a bad mood because the Andre I remember would have carried this out.

“Manda? You awake? I said Good Morning!”

Ughhhh grumble grumble I can see now and he’s fully dressed showered and the front door is open. Okay what the hell time is it? By that huge ray of sunlight I would have expect close to noon?

“Andre what time is it?”

It’s 8am and you’re lucky because I was up with your blow horn this morning I turned it off by the way.

I sit up so that everything I’m looking at isn’t side ways.

“Jacko! Barber! It’s okay she’s not naked or anything come say hi”

Great! I’m pretty sure my mascara is probably some where between my eye and my mouth and my hair oh god ! I turn slightly and there they are two big huge smiles on their face. “Good Morning Jacko .. Good Morning Barber” and if I could explain to you the lack of enthusiasm in my voice when I say this as I sat there trying to shield my morning look from them with the sheet that’s wrapped around me.

They leave and I’m hoping it’s because they can sense that I’m not ready for company and not because I’m hideous at this very moment.

“Hey Babes, I’m going to go buy you some coffee get up and get ready”

“You’re not mad?”

“No, why?”

Now I’m very suspicious at this point I’m waiting for some sort of your on candid camera moment where Andre turns back into some grumpy hater.

“Err can I have a hug then?”

He sort of falls on me and remember this bed… ya boards in my back but alright no complaints I got my hug.
Andre isn’t mad at me but my foot .. my foot is definitely mad at me!

He sets up the shower for me because I’m really not sure what that lever at the top of the shower head was for and I hop in.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH omg omg omg omg omg ANDREEEE”

”What what what you aiight? What’s wrong ???”

“It’s freezing!!!”

He laughs at me and explains that outside of the hotels you wont get a “hot” shower and that it doesn’t get much warmer than that.

Now this I’m not use to I’m sort of doing that breathing that pregnant woman do, whats that called anyways? Heeheehoo anyhow .. now if that doesn’t wake you up and take any sort of boozy grogginess away I don’t know what will.

I feel fantastic I get out get dress I’m just about to sit down and Andre comes in with my coffee. Now this is service 

Me, Jacko, Barber and Andre off in to the car.

“So where we going?”

“Lover’s Leap”

“YESSS!”

It ends up not being very far from Andre’s place at all and we get there

Sorry for the inconvenience we are closed for Renovations

“Noooooo”

But I’m a trooper there is a field right next to the gates there is one cow and it’s fairly far from us so why not we walk across this field and we’ve got the cliff right in front of us. No railing.. no fence .. and it’s GORGEOUS. I can’t get over it. It’s morning still and just from the way the sun is hitting you can’t even tell where the water ends and the sky begins from the horizon and I’m overwhelmed. But not just me. Apparently Barber and Jacko have never been here! They are ecstatic and I’m beaming! I’m not the only tourist today.

After taking in the view and watching Jacko and Barber like little kids on Christmas morning athough Barber takes this in from a far distance. Apparently heights are an issue for him. We walk back to the car and on our way back Andre finds 100ja in the field. 1 cow and 100ja.

”Manda it’s going to be a good day. We’re going to Treasure Beach now.”
