While being on holiday in Antigua I wanted to write Moliblog and tell everyone about my fantastic time sitting in the sun, consuming Passion Fruit Daiquiri’s daily and eating the equivalent of my body weight in fabulous food and being pampered in paradise. However, I never had the time.
After day 5 the excess became too much. It would appear that you can have too much of a good thing. I would go as far to say that all the excess would actually kill me in the end. I remember thinking that it was strange how I could spend most of the day sleeping and relaxing and still ending up wanting an early night. Maybe that’s what happens now that I’ve reached the big 40.
On that topic I had an amazing birthday, so different to all the others. It started with a great breakfast, then a massage, then swimming in the Caribbean sea, a fantastic creole shrimp salad for lunch followed by more sleeping and catching the beautiful rays. So far so good, then I had an evening meal in the fine dining restaurent and the biggest lobster I’ve every seen. The only thing that worries me, is the fact I get so much pleasure from food. How on earth am I going to lose weight???
I had the pleasure of sharing all this with Fleur who encouraged me to eat Passion Fruit for the first time.
I first I thought it looked like snot but it was more like the strongest hit of orange juice you’ve ever had. Amazing and intense I couldn’t get enough of them.
From the moment we arrived on the island the welcome from the people was just amazing. The site of a 747 parked next to a tiny terminal building was a true indication of the pace for the week ahead. Rarely do passport control welcome you like a hotel reception. Both of which supplied iced fruit juices and a big smile… Apart from the car alarm sounding crickets that are beyond annoying, everything was just perfect and we didn’t really want to come home. I can’t wait to go back.
