Up at the crack of Dawn

image
Ah sleep we loves ya, if only some almost 40yr old hadn’t set her phone alarm for 8am, not realising that one of the mobile networks advances your time by an hour. So 7am rise for us this am.

Me and Mrs Lumpy (since the Mosquitos have gone to town overnight) are out on a Forrest cable car ride today, guarantee a few more bites if Lumpy has any flesh left.

I would have attached a picture of all of the bites, but we know you are a sensitive lot and don’t want putting off your grub, just think John Merrick and you got the picture.

Who Knee’ds Help

The second to last day of her 30s sees Mrs Fogg acting as a gourmet meal to the local mosquito population. Despite bathing in Deet, the little buggers still managed to make a melon out of her knee, ankle and calf. I can tell you it’s like a scene from a horror movie.

Today we arose at 8am to attend the Yogi for 8.30, only to find they have changed the time to start at 8am, ho hum early breakfast here we come afterall every cloud has a silver lining. We took a slow meander into Castries for a few hours in the high 80s with sweat pouring from every pore, finding any shop with aircon for a welcome respite.

Back just in time for a nice lunch by the sea before a few hours slobbing by the pool and a welcome dip.

Phew this life is just sooo tiring.

Let’s enjoy the people watching again this evening, there is “stick” a girl who resembles Zola Bud on a diet, “hick” who must have drunk every item in the place, can’t stand up straight or still and slurs all the time, “lushes” an Irish couple who bragged about being hammered before the Managers Coctail evening even commenced, “Wife & Slave” where the hubby seems to be wearing a collar, how bizarre and then there’s “Timothy and his mum”, an early thirties guy on holiday with his mummy.

I feel positively normal in comparison (I know I’m not, but hey I can dream).

Foggy with a Chance of Sun

This week we’ll mostly be eatin our lunch outside in the baking sunshine. After a hazy start to the morning, an hour of Yogi (the exercise not the bear) a pleasant breakky, 12 laps of the pool an a record breaking scrabble whoopass of Mrs Fogg (I managed 415 points, oh yeh who da spellin daddi) we went for a wonderful BBQ lunch of lamb kebab, Caribbean bacon and Mahi Mahi, mmmmmmmmmm, delish (so good Birthday Gal went for seconds).

Now at 2pm it’s back to the pool for a chill, a swim an a general slob about.

Oh what a hard life, most definitely beats going to work at 7am and getting home at 8pm.

Now Then BooBoo

Day 2 in paradise, and only 3 full days of 39 left for Mrs Foggy. Last night was entertaining after a full days soaking which was quite refreshing, the roof gave way and soaked one poor lady, so they were moved to another table and the waiter proceeded to chuck her drink all over (accidentally of course). on a different table one girl became I’ll, stood up and kept wobbling and we had the old dear who had been left on her own for the evening by hubby, wanting to join in our scrabble game but she was too drunk to even see straight.

And today Mrs Foggy and I got up at 7.15 to go do an hours Yogi in 80 degree sunshine, fools or what. So now fed and watered it’s a day of leisure by the pool and only 2 hours until a BBQ lunch, oh yummy.

Very Hot here.

40 T-Minus 5 Days

After a wonderful evening meal and the obligatory 2 glasses of FizzyBoobly, Mrs Foggy and I retired for the night, to the cacophony of sounds including birds, dogs and millions of cicadas.

Under guidelines from the WHO (nope not the Doctor variety), all resorts have to “fog” the entire area with mosquito repellant (will take a picture this evening). It’s quite an eerie view and resembles a 1970s B movie called The Fog.

After a leisurely layin to 7.45, we went had brekky and saw the tour rep. Mrs Fogg determined she wasn’t doing any tours this time miraculously purchased two of them (a cable car ride into the canopy and a Segway tour of Rodney Bay, ok so we get to play on Segways again so I will let her off).

The rest of the day was spent by the pool, swimming, eating, chillin and dodging the wonderful rain storms.

Tonight it’s glad rags for another spectacular evening meal and a chance to spend time with a very beautiful lady.

Hot, Wet and Warm here.

Little Miss Norty & Forty

image
Made it, Virgin flight was ok, well apart from miss clutse the air hostess who dropped everything.

Arrived at Hewonarra airport, got the helicopter across and then private hire to the hotel. So as at 3pm EST (8pm to you bobbies in GMT land). 10 mins transfer for us, two hour transfer for the bags.

We went to the bar for a dwinkies and Mrs Foggy has been nicknamed Norty Forty because of her T-Shirt by the staff, think she was a little mortified at that.

Now two weeks of sun (85 degrees each day), sea and relaxation.

Norty & Forty is chillaxin from here.

Han Hirly Start

I hate this T-Shirt

I hate this T-Shirt

5.30am up, Mrs Fogg with an unusually short shower of sub 45 mins (amazing I know), out and at the airport for 6.45.

We got a fast pass to avoid the long security queues, but after searching for 10 mins and following signs, it transpires that it doesn’t open until 7am ish!

Eventually through security Mrs Fogg has desperately been trying to cover her T-Shirt up especially because of the strategically placed 4 and 0.

Oh well sat in the Servisair lounge enjoying free tea, coffee and breaky. Next stop is the plane and then St.Lucia in about 8 hours.

Ahh hello hot, sunny weather.

Wots Going On Ear

Made it to London after a 2 hour delay, very tired and with another early start tomorrow.

Whilst hanging around in Manchester Airport, Mrs Foggy decided to try a demonstration of hair curling with “straighteners” from a woman that went on the training course a few days earlier. She definitely managed to curl a piece of hair, but neither her or her colleague (who by the looks of it was one of the original ensemble from MJs Thriller video) could get it to go straight. After 10 mins of trying, it was a new tact of stop trying and try selling the product on the merit that it has a dual plug for the UK and US, well that’s nice then. I did ask the assistant whether it was any good for female moustaches as I stared at her top lip intensly, I gotta have my fun.

As you can see 8 hours later Mrs Fogg is still trying to get it straight (her hair that is, not her moustache, which she doesn’t have, that comes in a few years, oh god dig a hole, stop now).

Eventually onto the plane and the explanation for the delay from El Capitan, we had two failed aircraft this morning and have been struggling to fulfil our flights all day. Ok, well that will be why you mentioned that when we checked in 7 hours ago! And this is the worlds favourite airline!

Leaving on a Jet Plane from here.

Who Jinxed It Then?

Ah Loverly, arrived at the airport with 3 hours to kill, had a glass of fizzy boobly and a pizza, then to hear the announcement that our flight to London is now delayed for an additional 1.5 hours.

Now I wouldn’t mind but Manchester Airport is small, dirty, has 1 pizza place (where we watched a waiter sweep food off te seats witha fork before puttin it back on the table), one motorway food dispensary, a small W H Smith and a small Boots. Not much to occupy you for 5 hours because someone forgot to put gas in the aircraft before leaving home and now they can’t get it back.

Next stop more alcohol.

The BirthdayTrail

And today we kick of Mrs Fogg’s birthday trip. Bags packed, car loaded, cat boarded and we is outta here.

Enroute to the airport via Chez Caddie and a light bite, chat and a wonderful early birthday prezzie, thank you Stu and Jen.

On my birthday venture into adulthood, Mrs Fogg forced me to wear an 8inch flashing badge with my age on it, ah revenge we love your cold servings. I have waited 3 years for this moment and guess who gotta wear this T-shirt for the entire journey. Good luck Mrs Fogg.
