Day two- part one – too many piccies to share!!
Day two
Thunder in the night!!! So loud it shook the bungalow or that could have been the earthquake Djd felt instead?!?!?! Or was that just djd snoring? Djd didn’t sleep much could have something to do with sleeping on the plane over or after we arrived….but either way not a great sleep for him as he lay awake listening to the gecko shout into the night. I didn’t hear a thing except the thunder you couldn’t sleep through that if you were on sleeping pills.
Woke and had a hearty breakfast and a walk around the resort where a lot of “I bags” was going on in the photo shoot competition….I’m sure if we were seen people would have wondered who these strange people standing in the most beautiful garden settings sounding like a couple of seagulls going “mine” “mine” “mine”.
There are some really beautiful hibiscus and other various plants about. Here a few samples.
Below is one of my favourites, its beautiful little flower that was growing in the grass. I got the idea of taking pictures from the ground from another ODer LightButHearty. Its really amazing the pictures you can get from ground level…I have more to show in future entries.
Then we just blobbed…it was so warm so humid, we worked up a sweat just strolling around the grounds. We were in no rush to do anything, it was wonderful!!! and its only 10am.
It was a public holiday so across the lagoon kids were playing around in the trees and across the exposed reef.
It was great to hear the sounds of everyday life from the locals coming across from the other side of the lagoon. We would have hated to hear in our own backyard the sounds of suburbia but somehow here it was nice to hear the music floating across and the happy laughter of groups enjoying themselves.
I will write part two and publish in the next day. I love writing these entries it just brings everything back to me about the holiday and I get to relive the wonderful days all over again.
Till next time diary!
These are wonderful photos…reminds me of National Geographic. The ground shots…I got that idea from TallGuyWrites. He takes beautiful photos in the UK and he is very creative. Check out his diary.

*swoons* Such WONDERFUL photos. Makes me want to go there , and that’s saying something, as I’d rather poke out my own eyes than get in an airplane and fly over water.

i feel that photography is really personal, so i don’t think you and djd should worry about taking shots of the same thing. you each have your own wonderful perspective. 🙂 absolutely LOVE that tree! amazing!
