It's off-season, so they upgraded all of us from our economy priced Manor rooms to a beach side cottages. That was a dream come true! I had looked at the beach side cottages longingly during our last trip but they were out of our price range. I never imagined we'd end up there.
Jamar was taken to his cottage (room 31) bottom floor and literally steps from the beach. Markus and I were taken to our cottage (Room 50) at little further in the property and second floor. We walked past the familiar strutting Peacocks and the lush grounds.
I felt kind of dazed as though I was in a dream state, My excitement was masking my exhaustion.. it all felt kind of surreal.
Once we were alone in the room, Markus started walking around running his hands through his hair and taking it all in while shaking his head in disbelief.
“I can't believe we're here.. I can't believe we're here...I can't believe they upgraded us.. this is.. just...”
Meanwhile I tore open my suitcase and pulled out one of my bikini's. I had one thought and one thought only:.
BEACH.
No unpacking, no re-arranging toiletries – Who has time for that? I needed to get into the water.
Markus got changed into his bathing suit too and sat on the balcony with a smile. He had this kind of drugged look like that boy that had just gotten his teeth pulled out in that famous you tube video “Is this real life?”
I was feeling the exact same way.
