At breakfast: we were seated by the hostess who asked if we would like coffee. We both asked for coffee with milk (hot milk, the African way). We’re still getting our coffee with the last bites of our breakfast… BAM!

At the pool: the pool deck had a few people on it… still had a good choice of loungers.

At the pool: the pool-guy (can’t think of him as a “pool-boy”) would still lean against the poolside bar all day long rather than earn tips… BAM!

Poolside bar – Coconut Willy’s: the bartender still just stands behind the bar all day long… BAM!

Poolside bar: they run out of bottled sparkling water. We’ve been ordering one to two large bottles of this every day but today they’re out. Instead of sending  one of their (Jacaranda Resort) cabs to drive 5 minutes into the town of Diani Beach to pick up a case or two of the water from a supermarket, they’re just “out”… BAM!

Lunch on pool deck: no luck with anyone offering menus on the deck today. Again, Eron had to go find a waiter to ask for one… BAM!

Dinner service: we’ve figured out one of the reasons why the service is so unpredictable… none of the servers have table assignments. Even though there may only be a dozen or so tables occupied by guests and a similar number of serving staff – no one knows who is serving who, what is or has been served, or who needs what. Several servers will approach in turn to ask us for our drink order even though the first server already took our order. Then, ten or fifteen minutes later, a different befuddled server will come into the dining room carrying a tray filled with drinks… the problem is he never took the orders and doesn’t know who gets what beverage. The guests come up to him and claim their drink if they can see it on the tray… BAM!

Moon and palm tree.

Grounds: the huge African Millipedes are still everywhere. They’re still very creepy… alien-creepy. Eron still doesn’t buy into Roger’s alien-origin theory… Roger keeps saying, you come up with a more reasonable explanation for Baobabs, eggplants, and these milli-creepy-things.

Evening activity: guess what… its disco night again! Surprise!… there’s not one person on the dance floor… BAM!
