Overeating hazard

Alifushi

(Wednesday) We woke to a view of the ocean and the sound of waves, and now that it was daylight we could take in the view, although the ocean looked rougher than we expected, a legacy of last night's storm. 

We walked down to breakfast to find the largest array of breakfast cuisines that we had ever seen - Indian, Maldivian, Asian and Western. Best of all the food was actually hot, very appreciated after the lukewarm food of Sri Lanka. M was pleased to see some nice Indian curries and breads, while K availed herself of the more traditional breakfast options. 

Walking back to our villa it was very humid, and as the sun was beating down it was quite uncomfortable. We ventured for a swim from the steps of our villa, and alternated between laying on our veranda until we overheated, and moving indoors to air conditioning. Our biggest decisions of the day were when to have lunch, when to head to the bar for a pre dinner drink, and when to have dinner. 

(Thursday) We followed the same template as yesterday, though we did learn that it's best to have dinner at least an hour into the session to avoid the peak time with families and children.

(Friday) We decided to spend some time by the nice beach and pool area, as the swimming area by our villa was quite rocky and K found that it was better to swim with shoes. Our food lesson of the day is that where you have three buffet meals a day with decent quality food, then even though you know you should be careful it's way too easy to eat too much.
