We spent the day at the pool. I was awoken early, again at 7:00 am by the gardeners raking the dirt and chatting to each other. This time I went out and politely asked them to be quiet, in English with charades for shh and sleeping, but to no avail. Ten minutes later I awoke got dressed and ate breakfast (muesli and yoghurt) and read my book on the porch. By 8:30 am I headed down to the pool, where only 3 others were reading by the pool. I secured myself and Kirk a lounge chair and laid back and read enjoying the peace and quiet and the view. An hour later I headed back to the bungalow to see if Kirk was up, and he was, and we headed back to the pool where we sat and swam till the middle of the afternoon.

The internet was next, and then dinner, then bed.
