Today Paul and Kelly went to work. We are saving them the bills they pay the cleaner by doing a proper spring clean on the flat. It may take a while! Today we began the mammoth task of ordering Pauls DVDs, of which he has several hundred spread in various rooms and not in the right cases. Kelly bought him some DVD wallets a while back, but they have remained unused so we will try and fill them. After about an hour it became clear that we didn't have enough wallet...

Today We went to Tiger Hill. It was a big hill with a Pagoda on top. When we got there it looked a long way up so we decided to take a horse and cart half way.

Today we decided to take a day off. Even though there was little other management at the resort we felt a bit like we had been left holding the baby, and it wasn't even our baby! No one had asked us to become the joint GM, no one was paying us to be joint GM so hell we were off to the beach to actually try and get a sun tan. One thing we found was that even though we were now in shorts and T shirt every day we hadn't caught the sun at all. I had such white legs t...
