So it's jubilee day with street party's everywhere. Partly I am missing all the celebrations, however this trip couldn't be put off any longer. We have had a complete role reverse. In the past I just turned up for the plane and although I knew where we were going I never really new the details. I would have my own " pocket money" and Bev would do the rest. This time I have done everything. ( I hope Sri Lanka is not a sign of what is to come!!) Of course we talk all the time about what things cost and where we are going, and then I have my own way!!!! I feel quite "empowered" and in control, I should have burnt my bra years ago!!!! However the boobs really would be hitting the floor by now. We are "resting" at the moment in an "ok" guest house. With our own patio, lounge and kitchenette. However this morning we woke and Bev paddled through to the sink to make tea, yes paddled. The tap connection had been leaking all night and flooded a river across the living room floor. (dangerous on marble tiles) no he didn't fall again but so easily could have. I was not impressed that at6.30 we were using every towel in the place to mop up the tsunami! With that sorted we sat out on the patio with our cups of tea, 2 union jacks stuck in a bottle and toasted the queen on her 60 years, do you think she will log into face book to look at the picture? So having had to do a days work all ready we felt we had earned a good breakfast. we left Our "ok" hotel walked across the road to the 5 star hotel and ate a full breakfast, tea, fruit, cereal, omelet, French toast, spring rolls (whe in sl do as the sl!) sausages, fruit juice and more tea all for £4.50 each. I was born to go 5 star!!!!
