I gave myself a sleep-in this morning and woke up 5 minutes before breakfast was delivered to the door at 7.20am. A solid eight hours sleep. Breakfast is a ham, cheese and lettuce croissant (which I would have preferred to be warm but there isn’t a microwave here) and a very unusual fruit salad (maybe passionfruit) but I’ve not had anything like it before…it was ok. Morning tea consists of mandarins and apple juice.
The menu for lunch and dinner is here too.
I’m having a smoked salmon chicken on a wholegrain bǎtard for lunch! What the heck is a bǎtard? I’m going to need to Google that…no result! Is it a typo? Is the salmon bullying a bastard or a retard? I’m worried, especially about my insensitive thoughts towards the categories of alternative options. Likely a photo for you will be available in about four hours time. Dinner is grilled chicken with a garnish of little trees.
Exercise today looks awesome.
It will be the most amount of outside time yet with just over three hours in total of walking – very similar to what I was achieving on average in Sydney. This requires a bit more planning around the choices of footwear, sunscreen and headphone choice – major decisions when there’s nothing else to do. I have four headphone options to choose from: the basic ‘in the box’ Apple corded headphones, Apple Airpod Pros, Bose audio sunglasses and Beats Studio3 wireless over-ear headphones and I think I’ll write a separate and specific headphone review blog this afternoon. I’m also going to be using plenty of hot water today with at least three showers. I’m paying over $3000 for this retreat so I’m making sure I get my money’s worth.
The kitchen is a bit slow today but lunch finally arrives at 12.40pm. So its time to find out what a bǎtard is…
It turns out that a bǎtard is a fancy name for a type of bread but you probably knew that. It’s a little like sourdough bread.
