Day Five: Thursday 31st December
New Year's Eve! Richard felt quite a bit better on the 31st, and we both managed to attend breakfast, lunch and dinner in person. Breakfast was another triumph, with every imaginable type of breakfast food. Lunch, too, was very enjoyable; a buffet mix of fresh vegetables, chicken dishes, noodles, rice and loads of other things too numerous to recount. For dinner we decided to try out The Pier, as this was supposed to be the "best" restaurant: Richard's illness had prevented us from eating in it despite making two bookings. Anyway, we were reasonably impressed with the New Years buffet selection which included Conch St Christophine (a sort of curried conch dish); a prawn tree; various fishy, seafoody and lobstery things and rice.
At midnight they had a very noisy but quite spectacular firework display which we enjoyed immensely. There was also a disco and we even managed to boogie for about 15 minutes before completely running out of energy.
Right : Us enjoying the resort at last
