I was awoken at 7.30 by Carine off to work, then again at 9 by a rather confused cleaner! It was time to start the day and coffee was in order! I made one and went to the balcony to catch up on the world of FB and admire the amazing view, people bustling about taking children to school and on their way to work, I could have sat there for hours but the beach beaconed.
I got distracted by my feet, they were asking for a pedicure so I had one, it was lovely but it was not helping my mission to the beach! Now you would think of the 10000 taxis in the city flagging one down would be a doddle, incorrect. Eventually after practically throwing myself at one I arrived at the beach! Beautiful clear waters lapping at the white sand! Paradise. Opened the book and that was me for 4hrs. A rather handsome man asked if I wanted to go for a coffee of course I agreed so off we went to a roof coffee house 40 something floors above the marina! Now that was a totally memorizing view. After coffee I made my excuses and returned to the apartment to prepare for the evening, upon showering I realised maybe my lack of attention to the time had resulted in me cooking like a lobster, I was now a delightful shade of pink in really random pattern across my body! When will I learn, sun and fair skin DO NOT go together.
So now I have tried to correct my 'pattern' with makeup I head to hail taxi no.3 of today! Confidence normally comes easily to me but standing on a street corner dolled up to go out I just kept thinking I looked like a prostitute hailing a customer! It made me giggle (yes out loud so I may have also looked mental)
Anyways I got one eventually and headed to Oberoi Hotel in rush hour traffic, where most of today's updated was written! As you may have noticed it is now Day 3, it may have involved a fair bit of alcohol last night!
