The build up to Christmas

On Sunday we chilled at Leybato during the day and then went up to visit Alex and Ellie, who were house sitting in one of the Leybato apartments, for some cold beers on the balcony.


Ice cold beers!


After watching the sunset we walked up to Aso Rock and had some chicken pepper soup and rice, and spent the evening chatting with friends and an odd guy who kept telling us over and over again that he wanted to have friends, and who made Vicki feel that she was back in a crazy Rusholme pub!



Monday – Christmas Eve – was our treat day! Helen, Nicola, Vicki and I went to Coco Ocean, which is one of the nicest hotels just past Senegambia, and spent the day by the pool. Although it was a little bit cloudy it was still warm enough to relax and enjoy the day. I had my first burger in about 5 months, which I was very excited about, and Vicki had sushi.


As the sun began to go down we moved to the beach front and started on the cocktails, which turned into a bit of a cocktail crawl – first on to Gaya where we had cocktails and Christmas crackers, and then on to Aso Rock where we met everyone for a Christmas eve dinner. We ate, and drank, and danced and ended up staying out until about 3am – a fun way to slide into Christmas day!
