Our stay started with a power failure. A tree had fallen on to TNB's cable just outside the plantation. So we had to sit and wait. While Derrick brought Joey to have a look at the fish pond, and while Jordan and Johan stayed in the room to play on the netbook, I took a walk in the resort area at midday. Took some photos of the plantation as it looked so good. After walking for some time, Derrick came driving by and picked me up. We went back to Chalet No 49 and found that Jordan had gone looking for me. He called me on the mobile from reception for us to pick him up. The power supply came back on at about 3pm and soon the boys wanted to go swimming. I dropped Derrick and Joey at the fishing pond, drove to the swimming pool with Jordan and Johan who went straight into the pool. I sat down beside the pool to read a book. It was hot!
I picked Joey up from the fishing pond at about 4.30 for him to join the bigger boys to swim, and went back to collect Derrick at 5 as it was threatening to rain. Luckily for him, I picked him on time. By the time we got to the swimming pool, it started to rain. And it poured.
Derrick joined the boys in the pool in the rain while I waited for them beside the pool, reading. After some snacks, a couple of burgers and sausages, we decided it was time to get back to the chalet at 7pm. We had cup noodles for dinner.
We went for a walk after dinner to the reception, Jordan wifi-ed there while Johan and I had tea. There were so many stars that night that we totally enjoyed the walk back. Cicadas and crickets were the only creatures chattering away in the silent night.
