Sunday – our first full day on the island of Siboya. It’s a lovely beach and very nice cottage with a large bedroom and reasonable sized bathroom. Should be idyllic. There is a drawback though…… the resort next door has a two day motivational event going on with karaoke going day and night and our cottage is close to the kitchens which in order to feed 80 people started their day at about 5.30am and the karaoke hadn’t stopped much before 2.00am…… still not having enough sleep at night and with nothing to do all day except lie around reading there has been lots of chance to catch up on our lost sleep! There isn’t much English spoken here so we are doing a lot of smiling and nodding and then crossing our fingers that what we have agreed to for breakfast, lunch and dinner is going to be ok….breakfast we were offered eggs and sausage but “sorry there is no bread”….turned out there was only toast!!! Lunch we were offered crab and fruit……what we got were 8 large crabs….four of them steamed and four of them fried with spring onions and a chilli sauce and huge portions of rice for each of us served in a star shape…….followed by a very large serving dish of paw paw, pineapple, watermelon and unidentified fruit which was sort of pear shaped……we’ve got snapper for dinner apparently!
