Sunday 14th February

Today I felt very sad waking up on the other side of the world away from the other half. I made a long phone call to him before going for breakfast on my own as Lisa was still in bed tired from her late night. After opening my card
I'd left him with before my departure from the Uk, Nick had said something might turn up at the hostel reception for me which had made me smile although it at the point hadn't yet come and he was going to sleep with the time difference so told me to check again before I spoke to him later on. It was quite nice to just sit and chill on my own at breakfast, then I booked a massage in for the afternoon which Nick had told me to do as a present from him.

Back at the hostel I found the others and we all went to the Lagoon again (me, Lisa, Yael, Vicky and Dave) before I left them for my 45 minute back massage which was lovely and then popped back to the hostel reception on my way back. The hostel staff were excited to see me and said they'd been shouting my name around the pool area. With the help of Lisa and my best friend's sister Grace who had originally set me and Nick up, he had had a beautiful box of roses delivered with a note. I was delighted and carried them back to my room showing my sister and thought about how he never fails to surprise me in being a wonderful boyfriend.

I then joined the others back by the pool and we had a laugh trying to get Vicky and Dave to pretend they didn't know one another and take part in blind date that was going on to win a bottle of bubbly. Dave however wasn't up for it worrying about public humiliation and didn't hear the end of it off Vicky. That night Lisa and I ate dinner with Vicky and Dave at the Downunder bar while a guy played a guitar. We bumped into Emilie and Kevin the Swedish guys in our room from back at rainbow beach again and said hi. Lisa wanted to go out with others drinking again and again I couldn't be bothered so instead I chose to have an early night and did my laundry. Nick laughed this was like how the couple meet in the film 40 days and 40 nights and said he hoped I didn't meet the love of my life in the laundry room on Valentine's while I'm away from him. Of course that didn't happen and I chatted to him before I went to sleep counting down the days until I saw him again.
