On the rocks!

And so the fun continued. Safely transferred, we found ourselves in a hotel which, whilst considerably better than the last, appeared not to have had its restaurant updated since the 80's! Maybe it was where Duran Duran stayed, when they filmed their video for 'Hungry like the wolf' in Sri Lanka, and the management decided to retain the decor for historic effect! Shame they weren't playing Duran Duran classics rather than the funereal music we were subjected too during our first foray into the restaurant!
As such, we decided to head out of the hotel for supper - the piped music and 'curry corner' on offer defeating even us and spent a superb and very civilised evening at the most elegant establishment on the island's coast enjoying their signature bellinis, Hendricks and curry to die for!
At least our room was far and away better than our last, the staff were friendly and helpful and the management, very much to their credit, were determined to make amends. So much so, that they insisted tomorrow we enjoy a fine 'dinning' experience prepared just for us 'on the rocks'!
Not sure whether that means we'll have to be so plastered we won't notice the shortcomings or whether, and this is the option I fear they mean, we are going to be served at a table perched upon the rocks of the Indian Ocean abutting the hotel, beyond the bar and in full view of other diners, like a couple of hungry penguins being observed for a National Geographic documentary!
Time will tell....but at least we're both still laughing - so much so that LP tripped and trapped a nerve in his neck. Ouch! Off to physio shortly, so until later....
