The Next Few Days


The following morning was an unsuccessful trip to the airport to get our boxes. Our gas and boiler wasn’t hooked up but the sun was shining. We had nothing else to do but hit the beach. Poor us!


 
There are five apartment blocks in our complex, and we are Block C in the middle. It is almost finished, but the swimming pool isn’t quite ready yet, so we went next door to Block B for our shower after the beach. The most we did today was getting some grocery shopping in.



Friday was successful as our boxes were ready (Tony had to open each box up in front of local police and officiaries – just in case we were importing any naughty stuff. I now know that dishing out a packet of sweets for the police gives you a bit of peace and quiet!). The shower and gas were fixed, so I had a fantastic cup of tea and a hot shower.
It is a case of little by little. The island motto is "No Stress," which is definitely true. Even the stray dogs have a smile on their face.
