7:00 - Body clocks set ready for an early start as usual, we had a rude awakening as it occurred to us that we FINALLY could have a lie in.
9:30 - With a knock on the door, Miss Patel announced that a buffet breakfast would be served within 5 minutes. The fact that we had become complacent with our comfortable surroundings lead us to the false idea of a fry up that simply didn't exist. What we were presented with was an assortment of grey boiled eggs and slightly questionable curry. The disappointment was evident. 10:00 - Thankfully things started looking up as we had the opportunity to relax by the pool to the sound of Lana Del Rey. Tentatively dipping our toes in the water and smothering on factor 50 (apart from Joe "I haven't been burnt in 2 years" Cansfield) we became the idiots abroad. 11:30 - The cries of "Ms Sanchez, Ms Sanchez, they're here!" welcomed the Monks to our supposed day of relaxation. The idea of shopping lifted our spirits as we all walked along the promenade taking in the sight of the beautiful Indian Ocean. Followed by an eccentric man with the desire to repeat himself touring us round the Ghandi temple we had a true cultural experience. 2:30 - It was a photographer's paradise as we appreciated the views from the Circular Fort. We could see the beach, a river, the mountains in the distance... and an ever so subtle nuclear power plant. 4:30 - The much anticipated return to the pool allowed us a chance to cool off after our packed day out. With the help of a frisby and other classic pool side games we were able to spend quality time with the Monks. 7:30: Bringing the day to a close we sat down for a poolside buffet and to every Westerner's expectation, the first point of action was to nab the chips and naan. With bloated stomaches we bid farewell to the Monks until we reunite tomorrow evening. Charlotte Block, Luis Christofi, Laini Miller, Fran Weiss, Joesph Cansfield
