Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort, day 9, 050425
Today started off with steak and eggs in La Plume. The French restaurant is actually really good at a la carte breakfasts. The steak was a well-seasoned medium cooked sirloin, and I had two fried eggs (over easy of course), and hash browns. JC fancied a mimosa as well, so we had that too. Our…

Sandals Beach and Caribbean Critters, day 8, 040425
Friday 4th and we’ve been here for a week now. We’ve settled into the Caribbean way, chilling out and enjoying the weather down on the beach at Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort. We had breakfast at La Plume again, then a quick change into beach attire before heading down to our usual spot. Sun-beds, towels and…

Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort, day 7, 030425
Today was a chill out day, nothing planned, just to go with the flow. We had breakfast at La Plume, which serves breakfast a la carte, rather than the buffet we have been going to at Kanoo and Tesoro. I had a lovely freshly cooked vegetable omelette with hash browns. It was a perfect start…

Sandy Toes, Rose Island, day 6, 020425
It was a fairly early start this morning. Check-in for our boat trip to Sandy Toes started at 9:15am and we were unsure of how busy it would be traffic wise to get there. It was suggested we gave ourselves an hour to get from Sandals to Paradise Island Ferry Terminal. So we went for…

Straw Market and downtown Nassau, day 5, 010425
I woke on the morning of 1st April, before it was getting light outside, and I could hear rain. Not just any old rain, a torrential downpour. The windows of our room were steamed up on the outside, so it must have been to do with the humidity, the lush tropical gardens below and the…

Nassau and Sandals Barefoot Cay, day 4, 310325
On day 4 of our chill-out holiday , we were down for breakfast at about 9am. It was our usual location at Kanoo for buffet style breakfast so I had a mix of fruit and cheeses. Once we’d eaten we headed back to our room to put on the usual suncream/swimwear and went down to…

Nassau, day 3, 300325
Today was the day when I thought I’d really overdone it with the cocktails from the night before, in the Piano Bar. It’s great having an all inclusive deal, but it creates opportunities and situations that I’d rather not be in. I still felt squiffy when I got up and wished I hadn’t overindulged. Gluttony,…

Nassau, day 2, 290325
I woke early doors…not surprising really as my body clock was still in UK time. It was 5:00am, which is four hours behind UK, but couldn’t get back to sleep. In the end I made a cuppa and went back to bed. Eventually I made the decision to get up and go for breakfast. We…

Nassau, day 1, 280325
After leaving work early on Thursday, we travelled down to London on Hull Trains, then had an hour Tube ride on the Piccadilly Line. After enjoying our evening at the Sofitel at London Heathrow Terminal 5, we had an early wake up call on Friday morning. We used express checkout to save ourselves any bother…

Helsinki, day 6, 020125
We had a bit of a lie in today and didn’t go down to breakfast until about 09:15. We enjoyed a decent breakfast and I even tried the in-house rooibos tea that is produced especially for the hotel. We then went back to the room and I tried out the private sauna for about twenty…
