Comedy of errors


Aha, now in fact I DO exist...and this was proven finally in the Tir Na Nog Irish pub on a glorious Monday afternon - 13.00 noon to be precise - when a miracle occured - something so unexpected - so impossible to imagine - so unusual on a holiday like this one (booked through 'surreal journeys inc"?) - yes, readers - we all met up! I had thought we may never see each other again and that it might be nice to send them a postcard "wish you were here" - but the gods deemed otherwise.
A lovely 15 minutes of mutual incriminations later - soft blue waves licking at our ankles - what could have been 'MAD' (mutually assured destruction) turned into hugs - after all - the frustrations we felt were a result of wanting ('aching') to be together - yes, the gili's were working their space hippy magic - 'all we need is love..(a soft pillow would be nice too, mind).

Since then, all lovely - Asta joined us on the beach and we spent the evening watching shite DVDs in a very cosy gazebo - sipping wine - nibbling nachos and other globalised nonsense.

The whole KL 'misadventure' now seems eminently worthwhile..a few worries about how I'll get back notwithstanding - we plan to go to Gili Meno this afternoon - none of us has ever been there - more snorkelling - so far I have seen two eagle rays!! - magnificent! and today a close turtle encounter - what more awaits on this holiday that never begins or ends where we think it will...?

Glad to hear you're all back together. If you don't make it back to Burma, Davie, don't expect us to do your cover ;)

Can't believe you saw turtles when snorkelling - am so jealous! Didn't see any turtles, despite 4 dives!! You're a lucky monkey :)
