If only we were penguins!

Well our night 'on the rocks' was exactly as described. A table for two set up on the rocks, where a 5 course meal awaited us. As our' butler' led us down a path lined with flaming torches we were met by two of his colleagues - a waiter and chef and personal staff of three, ready to cook and serve our choice of wines and freshly prepared foods including an amazing array of seafood; the penguins would  have been happy!
A wonderful feast especially for us. I have to concede that it was perfect and would have been a truly romantic evening, but for one thing...

....said rocks, were positioned directly below the balcony of the main dining room which was full of guests enjoying their all inclusive bulk catered packages.

Sitting at our table felt like we were lab rats under constant obs. As 40+ other guests gazed down at us, the Japanese ones with cameras at the ready, it was clear they were expecting LP to propose at any moment. No pressure then!

They were to be disappointed...qute reasonably, bearing in mind that, technically, this was only our seventh 'date' albeit the longest and most fun one I have ever had! Shame we weren't penguins - at least they wouldn't have minded an audience!

Heaven only knows what will happen on our seventh! Bring it on, I say!
