Oh my god!!! Finally we arrived into Nevis. Now ladies and gentlemen, this is after 7 hrs from Abu Dhabi, which we managed to get upgraded to Business class thanks to my work connections!! Get really scanned by the UK immigrations, they threw away my body shop lip balm and my brand new vicks, bastards, waited about 4hrs in gatwick airport, 8 hrs and 18 mins from Gatwick to Antigua, no upgrades this time sat in cattle class thank god it wasn't full, fight my way in Antigua for a damn fag ( actually Dave did the fighting I just sulked he said that I will be sick and needed an ambulance if I didn't get my fag how sweet ), imagine a non-smoking airport, the size of the waiting lounge in an ordinary international airport den fly off to nevis in an 8 seater tiny tiny aircraft which I think is about to break down. During the flight, there was no oxygen drop-out mask!! I think we were flying at 17,000 feet, which is quite high and very loud!! Passed immigration without having to open our suitcases thank you, which according to Peter ( Dave's dad) is quite rare. So there…all sweaty and nasty we came. Please bear in mind that we cannot carry perfume or body spray into London airport, all have to be checked in and I AM NOT BUYING A NEW ONE which was more expensive in London even though it is duty free. So that was why we were stinking. Poor Peter and Eugenie, have to hug 2 stinky people….I wouldn't. hahaha. Then again, WE ARE IN THE CARRIBEAN HA! HA! Please don't be jealous of me, be happy….don't worry I will drink for you, and tan for you…blah blah blah….he he
Then we found out that Dave's phone wouldn't work here, damn you Etisalat!! So I let Dave use my Singapore line. We had to tell peeps in Dubai the number here…
So, after bout 24hrs of flying and eating shit airline food, I am so happy to have home cooked food. Eugenie made some stir-fry. Yummy!!!! Plus lots of booze. You know how I don't really fancy red wine, this one here….very nice!!!
You don’t really appreciate a nice cold shower when you are at home, pampered with nice cool ac in your room until you have been through what I went through. Thank you whoever you are for inventing showers!!!
Slept like a log, we both did. Like a log!!
The next day we woke up, I woke up actually bout 6am local time automatically ( won't my mom be proud of me!! ) had breakie of soda bread with cheese and Johnny cakes( another of Eugenie's miracle bakes) with cheese. I tell you I CAN GET FAT!!! I never eat breakfast, well I should but I don't. Even if I do, breakfast is usually eaten at 11am, which literally should be brunch don't you think? Oh then we had the instructions guide from Mr Peter Crane which is very handy. Like the generator, the night alarm, feeding the dogs and the animals we have to be wary about. Sorry not animals but creepy crawlies. Like the Christmas worms, aplenty, the small jumpy pissing frogs ( ok I forgot the name so sue me!! ) and huge geckos. The key here is that they , the creepy crawlies have to see you first otherwise they will jump on you!! EEEEEEE!!!
We then head to town so that Dave can have his temporary driving licence, won't be good if we get caught without a local licence right? Walking back, apparently one of Dave's aunt saw him, but he didn't. But that will cause talk. Family politics. I think it is best we leave it alone, yeah?Peter drove around the island as a short intro. The rest of the venturing, we will do it ourselves when the 2 lovebirds head off to Toronto. It is gorgeous!! The greenery, the mountains, the tip is usually covered with clouds, the beach. Huh…..you'll understand when you look at the pictures. I think this is such a beautiful place to come and chill. But to live? I don't really know….Especially when you have been growing up in a buzzing city…..anyway, this is such a calm and fresh place to be in.
When we came back, Eugenie made her homemade chicken corn soup which is a lot better than ones in the restaurants. I have the recipe kwah kwah kwah…… Me and dave thought that we were going to stay up while the other 2 have their siesta ( which by the way means afternoon nap ) but after 5 minutes on the comfy leather seats, we fell asleep. I think it's jet lag….but of course, we had to do the do first. Hey, we are young and in love. To think of it, I think we ……ok too much info now. Hee hee
Dinner was special. Christmas turkey dinner. Yummy!! With red wine!! Mmmm….
