This weekend was fun!! We spent Saturday with our friend Manjusha and her husband Ravi and kids Jay (8) and Veer (4). Mikey LOVED playing with kids and we spent almost all day in the pool area (Rob and the kids went in the water, it was a little too cold for the rest of us).

Sunday's, most hotels have a Sunday Brunch and they have live music and loads of entertainment for children. Mikey absolutely loved it. He had his face painted, they had a clown who made balloons and he played in the children's area for a few hours while I spent the morning in the spa for a hot stone massage, body wrap and facial. Heaven!!!!!

Later that afternoon we decided to go to the mall in the Tuktuk and people are staring at us and laughing out loud!!! In the mall we went to the grocery store and I was worried about nothing! They have everything you can possibly think of in the store and more!!!

I still feel somewhat like a circus attraction. People constantly staring at us, touching Mikey all the time. I guess I have to get used to it, but I am not so comfortable with it yet. Robert decided to walk towards the Hotel's tuktuk when it wasn't at the appointed place at the mall yet and I got so overwhelmed!! People yelling at us, trying to get us in their tuktuks and taxi's, people begging and then the endless honking of the cars. I was so happy to get back into the bubble of our hotel!!!

Today we went furniture shopping again and we made some decisions. Robert only has a few hours in the morning to go with us. He works most of the afternoons and nights. Tomorrow I think we will actually purchase some things. We are supposed to move into our apartment on Saturday!! I will miss my hotel bubble, but am also excited to start making our new home.

This afternoon Mikey and I are just hanging out in our hotel room. Maybe tomorrow afternoon I will be brave and go to the mall without Robert. I would feel more comfortable if I had a cell phone but they haven't been able to jailbreak my iphone yet. Hopefully later this week :)
