Part 2....


New Year was quiet, we caught up with Nick Downie (aka ex Pura Vida Nick and Tanja - English Nick), at his place in town. Spent the night drinking bubbly while watching fireworks over Manchester from his balcony. Slightly more chilly and definitely more relaxed than our last new year... Early in January Nick and I went down to London for a pre-birthday celebration for him. Rob from Reef Gliders in Roatan came over from Amsterdam to join us as it was his birthday too. The whole weekend involved an awful lot of drinking and eating, the pinnacle of which was Saturday night in Home Bar. It was great to catch up with friends from the Perhentians, Roatan, Paris, London and Leeds. It was also one for the diary as I'm sure it's the first time we've been out with Mr Austin without him exposing himself at some point in the evening.
Nick's actual birthday was spent at a luxury timeshare at Underscar in the Lake District (see pics above), a treat from his mum and step dad. It's nice to spend a day out in the hills and to come back for a relaxing sauna and Jacuzzi. Obviously this weekend, as did the weekend before, involved a great deal of food and booze. Having a little difficulty shifting the festive season excess at the mo.
