Right on the Button- McLaren

An easy morning and a slow breakfast before wandering over to the Sport's Bar to watch the Formula 1 Race from China. A good race and with quite a few changes due to rain, safety car and a couple of accidents. McLaren got the strategy correct whilst Red Bull got it wrong and so there was a First and Second for McLaren with Jensen winning and Hamilton coming second but there may be a stewards enquiry on one aspect of his performance. A good race anyway for the Woking team.
As time was getting on we decided to have lunch here and Noel had the 'English fish and chips with mushy peas and Jennifer the Hammour local fish with rice and very tasty it all was.
The an afternoon spent under the unrella and staring at the swaying palm trees and the blue sky and then heading for a nice refreshing swim in one of the five pools.
Neither of us was really hungey in the evening after a big lunch and so some fruit and a drink by the sea in the 'Captains Bar' was the order of the day and looking at the lights in the dinstance.
Noel has made contact with some old buisness contacts and so tomorrow night we shall join them for dinner and general talk about current and past times.
This volcano things drags on and we hope by the weekend it will be sorted one way or another otherwise Noel will start looking for a consulting job down here to while away the time waiting for a flight. We are not panicking yet, as they say Mr Manwering, but we need to be aware of whats happening to ensure that we dont get stuck here to long. I guess time will tell.
We will also start taking a few photos soon to adorn the blog.
