A tribute to the uninhibited!

Wednesday was a fairly quiet day for us, with most of the day spent by the side of the pool in the Spa - and sometimes in it!

During the evening we managed to force ourselves to partake in another "free offering" from the hotel - yet again involving drinking - this time in the form of a Madeira wine tasting. Looking around the small group of participants at the end of an interesting talk, Teresa and I appeared to be the only couple who had finished all of their drink - so what does that say about us? We're participative?

After a few glasses of wine, and some accompanying Honey cake and cheese we headed off for a dinner dance - Alfresco down by the sea at the Blue Lagoon restaurant. It must be said that our motivation was more dinner orientated than dance, but sadly this was not the case for all attendees. The food was superb...the music was....less so...the dancing was...interesting!

The highlight of the evening, (where the music was nothing if not eclectic, ranging from classical to contemporary, Wolfgang Amadeus to Billy Ray Cyrus) was when the dancefloor full of couples dancing a slow number was joined by a solitary dancer who when the music changed to "Achy Breaky Heart" by the aforementioned Billy Ray, went into full line dancing mode. Hands clapping under alternate knees, left hand touching right heel behind her back etc etc, and just as in the Musical "Fame" all dancers joined in lines behind her copying her every move.....well in her mind they did. In fact they all carried on dancing their slow shuffle, whilst she pranced around like a loon, constantly looking around for people to join her. By this time her husband was in the lift on his way back to his room on the eighth floor, so she didn't stand a chance....Great entertainment for us though!
