Our Honeymoon day 14

Our last day here! Day 14 and the ash cloud is back and possibly preventing us from getting home!

We've had an amazing time, but are both ready to go home now! We've packed and left a couple of outfits out and will just have to wait and see what happens tomorrow! Steve thinks having an extra night would be fun, as long as it was in a different place.

We stayed in the room for the morning, watching The It Crowd on Steve's laptop, and then kept having people knock on the door offering us more strawberries and champagne and carrying towels!! It turned out that Steve had booked us a romantic honeymoon and birthday meal for our last night!

At 7.00pm we went up to the Terrace bar for a drink beforehand, and there were a few spots of rain which we thought was nice as it was still hot, but the mugginess wasn't as bad!

We walked along to the candlelit gazebo which was set up for us on the beach, they'd swept all the sand and put luminaries along to make a path for us! It was so gorgeous a setting, and Steve had done it all on his own :)

We had a first course which was cured meats and salad, and then the rain started again. Our waiter suggested we move into a restaurant and we're glad we did becuase then the heavens opened and the rain came down harder than anything I've ever known before! Thunder and lightening filled the sky and Steve thought it was brilliant. The rain was coming in through the sides of the restaurant as they didn't have walls, just a bit of canvas, and my feet were soaking and I actually felt chilly with it all! We didn't eat our second course, it was an odd tasting soup and then out came the main, lobster and steak! The lobster was in it's shell and the steak was a rare fillet! It was fabulous.

For pudding we had a white chocolate creme brulee, and then Steve had told them it was my birthday so we had a birthday cake, with the waiters singing happy birthday and I was issued a tequila in a peculiar way! The waiter held my head and fed it to me, and then covered my head with a napkin and shook it! Very bizarre!

Then we went back to our room to find a 'newly married' banner on the door and more beautiful towel art on our bed, with scattered rose petals! We were very tispy from all the champagne and it had been a wonderful evening despite the rain.
