Hi!! It was great to hear from you last night and hear how it is all going! I was laughing so much reading your blog - I thought 'manly' surf competition just meant there were a lot of men in it!! I was thinking no wonder they two sat out in the miserable weather to watch the men!! Ha Ha!! Your pics are fab!!! I especially liked the two cheeky monkeys at the end!! I hope you are enjoying your lovely hotel room and pampering yourself!!

Take care!! Lots of love,
