February 24, Tali Beach

Arrived here early yesterday afternoon and immediately showed Alasdair the beach lot. Fortunately, he liked it. Phew. It was much bigger than I remembered to be, in fact, Phil and Sandy (Mayet’s husband, my other brother-in-law) insist that we include a separate pool house. We’ll see. We’re back here the week after next to meet up with the architect.





(We passed by Tagaytay on the way to Tali, where the children were entranced by all the fruit stalls lining the road. Pineapples are obviously in season.)




Spent the rest of the afternoon by the poolside. The children, in it with their cousins, Alasdair, by the side of it with the rest of the out-laws, drinking rum and cokes, while I sat by the side sunbathing and chatting with my sisters. It’s a hard life. Also had a massage - £5.00 for a one-hour full body massage. Heaven!

Went to attend a get-together for boat owners at the bar in Punta Fuego – the neighbouring beach – and no, I had no idea what I was doing there either. Just sat at the bar and scoffed around a dozen absolutely delicious grilled sardines, to the amusement of the waiters.

Alasdair left very early this morning to golf with Phil and Sandy, while the children have gone exploring. I need to make them do their blog but the thought fills me with dread…
