I got back in one piece and believe me we didn't want to come home!!!
I started my new job on my return at the City East Community Mental Health Unit in Leicester. It was an alright job, the people were amazing. I was there for quite some time, it got a bit much as my manager didn't like me, and the job was sooo busy.
I then went onto work for a company called tha group in Team Honda... which was interesting to start with but I got seriously bored of the data input and the price of fuel so after talking to the agency they told me it was not in their interest to increase my wages and took a job in Sunny Cambridge at the Addenbrook Hospital doing reception for a while.

MINI ADVENTURE DAY 12!!!!
Badger got up and went for breakfast, returning again with bread rolls for Sazzy :-)
Badger then went off to meet our mate RAVI!!!! to give him our driving licence details and to get the Keys for the car while Sazzy got up out of bed and dressed herself and sorted herself out to go out for the day!
Sazzy left to go meet Badger as he was on his way back, they would not accept his card as it was not a credit card so he needed Sazzys... :-( Oh dear....
All was sorted and we went to see the car... Sazzy nearly died when she saw it was red!!! (Red cars are bad luck lol)
Oooh it was all nice we were shown how to put the roof down and all the buttons etc!
We then got the last of our stuff, put the roof down and headed off on our Mini adventure!!!
After a fair amount of time... Badger had to pull over so we could put the roof up... it started to hammer it down! We then had the trouble of who had to stop breathing as we were completely steamed up lol!!!
We soon arrived in Curepipe... which was leathal on the shiny paving in flip flops so Badger spent most of the time holding Sazzy up, where we looked for the only bank that could change the Indian rupees.
We finally found the place to change them and got a poor exchange rate! But it was more spending money! :0)
Finally shopping time :) yey :) hehehehe:) We looked in some shops, starting first with the only real shop in the world, O'neill :) yey, here Sazzy purchased a long sleeved top which is gorgeous, MMMM!
Badger did not find anything of choice! :( we looked round more shops and didn't find much that interested us so we decided it was time to get food... we didnt take the Picnic this time as it was soo disappointing last time... Sazzy drove to KFC where Badger had a Zinger Burger and Sazzy had chicken nuggets and potatoe wedges...
After this Sazzy took the wheel and we drove north on the M1 to Port Louis!!!! (capital!) for MORE SHOPPING!!!! Avoiding the crazy bitch in the Polo we finally managed to park... it was very expensive 30mauritian rupees for 4 hours... (about 70p!!! lol)
We started off by going in the Roxy shop MMM (quicksilver for girls...) Sazzy couldn't find anything nice in her size... the sizes are all massive... so we then moved onto the Billabong ahop where Badger bought some awesome Camo trousers that do his bum a right treat! ;-)
We then moved onto the Quicksilver shop where nothing took our interest. We then moved round the corner to the Ladies Billabong shop which again was most disappointing as there were some nice things only in big sizes again :-(
After this Sazzy saw the Duty Free Diamond shop, where Badger looked at some watches, while Sazzy was trying to pursuade him what he was really looking for was a nice diamond for her hehe.... He was having none of it so we moved onto the indoor market with all the hand made things on the island from wooden carvings to hand paintings... We got a little warm in here and had to dash out for a quick beverage before continuing.
We did not see anything in here so we then headed around the Phase II of the shopping centre and went into more shops, including Hugo Boss, Polo Ralph Lauren, Peace Angels, and a few more. Again nothing took our fancy so we went outside and took some pics of the port and some geek in massive rimmed glasses statue! (the guy on the bank notes!)
After this we went to Pizza hut so Sazzy could eat yet again! (She's such a fatty!!!) She had Pizza for one! Double cheese!!! We the went back to the car and headed off to Floreal... Knowing it might be closed by now... but hell Not going to cost us anything to find out!
So Badger at the wheel we hit the M1 again! (Only this time we were in rush hour traffic jam) Just like at home!
We got to Floreal and didn't think much, asides the fact everything was closed there was not as much there as we had been told. We got fuel and headed off (we were hoping a home bound direction) We soon found our way again and then realised we were still in the wrong place. We pulled over and exchanged drivers... Sazzy then stopped at the police station to ask for the directions... we were on the right track :-)
We got back to the hotel and decided not to unpack the car but to go straight for dinner... it was well deserved!!! The Waitress turned Badger back to go change his 3/4 length trousers... I promptly pointed out to her as she was seating me that there were lots of men in there with shorts on which was unfair...
Badger joined Sazzy after emptying the car and putting on his Loooovely new trousers...
For dinner we started by ordering Beer and B Freeze (for starters like) We then moved on and Badger had a few portions of Beef stuff... Lamb in rosemary and something or other... Pasta thingies... Bread etc... Sazzy had Beef Rague and gratan pasta with lots of bread and butter as usual....
After dinner we took the few paces across to the "B Bar" where we proceeded to get drunk... (like most nights then really) After this we turned in for the night! :-)
All our love Sazzy and Badgee xxxx

Day 11 Mauritius
When we half staggered back to our room last night we found a chocolate easter egg and two chocolate do do's sat outside our room for us :-) it was really sweet... we have pics somewhere.
Badger got up this morning and went for breakkie, leaving Sazzy in bed and returning with Bread rolls for her again. It was race day today so Badger stayed in and watched the race while Sazzy went off to the beach for a quick sunning before the rain set in as it was due to rain most of the day after about 11am!
It started to rain so Sazzy went in and showered and got ready then came out to the pub while Badger finished watching the race! (OH NO MORE FREE DRINKS!!!)
Badger came to join Sazzy in the pub and we each had a Steak Sandwich YUMMY!!! and continued to have beverages!
After Lunch had gone down we decided we were going to madagascar so we went back to our room and sorted ourselves out and went to the boat house to hire a pedle boat!!! yeyyyyy MADAGASCAR HERE WE COME! Or not! lol! We pedled out a bit and it was quite hard work and we kept getting splashed lots so we turned around... we weren't even over the reef :-( Mission aborted! lol!!!
After our failed mission we got changed/ready showered etc for dinner and headed off for dinner a little later than usual. Sazzy had a pizza and we can't remember what Badger had! But we did know we were picking up the mini tomorrow so we had to cease drinking pretty soon and go off to sleepie byes.
Night night

Day 10 Mauritius
THE MODERATE TROPICAL STORM 'LOLA' WAS CENTRED AT 1000 HOURS THIS MORNING IN LATITUDE 15.9 DEGREES SOUTH AND LONGITUDE 58.8 DEGREES EAST, THAT IS AT ABOUT 480 KM TO THE NORTH NORTH EAST OF MAURITIUS. IT IS MOVING AT ABOUT 10 KM/H. CLOUD BANDS ASSOCIATED WITH 'LOLA' WILL CONTINUE TO INFLUENCE THE LOCAL WEATHER.
So Basically the heavens have been open on and off all day!
This means another stressful day of drinking... Damn all the free beer and all the free cocktails....
Sazzy doesn't drink this much in a year at home!
Sazzy left Badger in bed this morning and came to the pub....
Sazzy uploaded the pics of the nature park today, the ones of the lions and the turtles and things...
Badger came and joined Sazzy in the pub and we each had Steak sandwiches again.
The staff then locked the doors to keep the rain out "LOCK IN!!!" lol
Due to serious rainfall and being locked in the pub we decided to look at car hire again ;-) so Sazzy went off to see if the hotel would change her Indian rupees to mauritian rupees... (some Fay and Mikey had left from India they kindly donated to the Sazzy spending fund!!! thank you!)
Being in the Indian Ocean you would think it would be easy to change the money over... Not on your life... Euros and US Dollas only!!! Damn!
Sazzy went off to ring our mate RAVI to see what cars he had, we were a bit fed up of the Lancer... it had no poke and coughed a little when you put your foot down... Sazzy wanted the Jimny Jeep so that they could have the roof down and go play on the beach hehe :-) (Puppy wanted to do donuts hehe) This was not available but we were offered a 1.6 mini convertable! We thought we stood more of a chance in the Mauritius rally Mountain stages in this car! So Badger went off to call Ravi again and book this "Demanding" as he put it car!!!
Yey MINI ADVENTURES!!! hehe.
Sazzy then ran off and bought Granny a little something ;-) hehe!
Sazzy rang Granny to see how her trip to Germany is going and to make sure her brother had not spent all Grannies pension hehe :-) She seemed happy enough sat in the NAFFI, she had been shopping and was off to do more shopping!!! :-)
Sazzy and Badger then went off for some dinner and remained in the bar for the rest of the night ;-)
All our love

... ermmm day 8...??? BADGERS BIRTHDAY!!!
Hmmm... Here goes...
Today we woke up at 7:30, well I did Sazzy went back to sleep while I went to breakfast. I had scrambled eggs on toast with sausages and for the first time here BACON!! :-) After breakfast I went back to the room (with some bread rolls for Sazzy) to make sure that Sazzy was up and getting ready, to my surprise she was up and ready :-P
Sazzy then gave me my birthday card from Fay and Mikey (thanks guys) I then packed my bag for the day while Sazzy waited for the ink to dry on her birthday card to me. We then headed off the the reception to pick up out picnic lunches for the day, but they tried to give us the lunches for room 3017 so while they sorted out that mess we went to collect the keys for a beast of a hire car! (see pics) Once we had done all the paper work for the hire car Sazzy went back to the room to collect the rest of the things for the day and I went to get our picnic.
At about 9:30 we set off the the bird park with Sazzy in the drivers seat! :-S After a few ass twitching moments we got there in one piece. We had to wait a few minutes before the bus came to take us down this very bumpy road. Once at the Lion enclosure we had to sign our lives away just in case the lions got hungry! We were then taken to where we would start our walk with the lions and given a do's and don'ts when walking with the lions. We were then each giving a stick just in case the lions got out of hand. Once all the formalities were out the way we started the walk! Our guide then took us around the park putting meat up trees and in various places to show us what the lions could do. Along the way the guide allowed us to touch the lions and took some pictures of us with the lions up the trees. This was a fantastic experience and I was able to take some really good pictures. Once we signed the visitors book we got back on the bus and headed back to the main building.
We got back and sat in the car with the aircon on full while we had our lunch. After our lunch we had a stroll around the bird park. There were peacock just strolling around without a care in the world. After dodging the very large sprinklers we came across the turtles! Well I think its mating season for turtles as everywhere we look there were turtles going at it like porn stars!! And making some very disturbing noises! (see pics ;-P) After the comical value of the turtles had worn off we continued our walk around the park, we saw some birdies, some ducks and swans, some tigers, (well one) and some little monkeys along with some other animals.
We then went to reception again... where... Sazzy (kept getting called mrs nolan lol!!!) sat and put some stuff on her Badger flea bites! And waited for our Quad biking guide to join us and take us away.
We walked back through the park... past the Turtles... lol to the quad departure point we again had to sign disclaimers and listen to the do's and don'ts of the activity. We were then issued with sexy blue dinnerlady style hair nets and helmets... (Sazzy sooo didn't have a kids one... ok she did just don't tell her dad!!!) we were then taken outside and everyone got on their quads and there were two short for Sazzy and Badger... so they bought another quad out... Sazzy explained we had paid for one each and Badger went off to join people on the practise track while they found another quad for Sazzy... who only got half a lap on the practise track... but just wanted to get into the real thing anyway...
We then lined up and were taken out into the park.... through the sprinklers that were watering the plants, on our way through the park we saw antelopey thingys, we stopped and looked at them. We saw hundreds of deers!!! (Sazzy was sooo not heard sitting there going awww look at bambi!!!)
We carried on through the park going through various rivery bits and up and down bumpy tracks neeeeeeeoooowmmmm!!!!!! We also saw some Ostriches and a few more peacocks and we stopped to take a look. We then carried on through the park going through more rivery things and more bumpy tracks... was sooooo cool!!!
After about 12km we stopped at the top of a massive hill and had a bottle of water each and some quick maintenance on the quads... some people had gotten a flat which they tried to plug with a stick... LOL!!! they then gave that quad to the photographer...!!!! Being so soft skinned Sazzy had a big big blister on her hand :(
we then continued on our way through the park, we stopped to see some HUUUUUGGGEEE Tortoise and then the next stop was when we saw some more deers and some ZEBRAS!!!! *good job we didn't bring the puppy...!!!*
We then hooned through the park doing more crazy exciting things... we went to go down a very very steep hill into the river and Sazzy came off :( This did not stop her getting back on and continuing down the river NEEEOOOOOOWWWMMMM... She kept looking back to see Badger going wild NNeeeeeeeeoooooooooooowwwwmmmmm too!!!!
we then finished the massive trek with a bit of a gentle ride through the park and back to the main departure point! When we got there they got out the first aid box and sorted everyone with blisters and things out, gave us all a drink of coke or sprite, we signed the guest book again and headed off to reception to have a look at our Pictures of the experience... which we will sort out at some point!
We were both absolutely knackered and didn't want to do much else!!! We got in the car, with Badger behind the wheel this time... and started to drive home. We were absolutely filthy, from head to toe in dried muck and all sorts!!! not to mention mud splashes all up our legs from ramping into rivers at 20kmh :) hehe.
We decided to go the scenic route home, which proved amusing. First we stopped at a beach and watched the sunset and took some pics (we shall be posting these on the website at some point!) We then continued... finding that the road had now become a dead end and we were kind of on a beachy thing.... Lol. Sazzy was asking for the chance to do doughnuts like what scardy pup does!!! (it was signposted scenic route!!!)
So we turned around and got back on the main road, where Badger took great pleasure in "seeing what the car had in it!!!" Making Sazzy's ass twitch like it's never twitched before!!!!
Sazzy then went to sleep for the rest of the journey!!!
We got back to the hotel, unpacked the car, went back to the room and were practically fighting over the shower! Badger looked like a native haha! We each had a shower, flagging up the problem that it was not draining and the whole bathroom was flooded!!! Sazzy then rang reception and sat outside to have a smoke. Badger just got ready for the evening and sorted himself out! (avoiding our new water feature) The guy came to check the shower and disappeared...
Sazzy got ready for dinner and we headed out for our long awaited steak Birthday dinner!!!
We got to the restaurant and were seated, we then chatted and Sazzy messed about with the camera blinding Badger a few times. Our steaks were bought out to us looking looooooovely. We both devoured our dinners, they did not touch the sides one bit!!! Badger was adamant that he wanted to get some pudding and I made him wait... I then gave in and took him up to have a look at the puddings. when we got back and sat down Badger had a beautiful birthday cake delivered and the staff trying to sing happy birthday to him! hehe :) the lady then went to give him the usual kiss on each cheek and Badger bless him didn't know what to do with himself.
After dinner we then headed to the bar... as we had been drink free before because of driving we had plenty of time to make up... we started on beer and B Freeze and by the end of the night Badger had sampled many cocktails and I had sampled a sip of each of his and one of my own they bought over for me!
After much drinking we were both soooooo tired we headed in and went to bed.... Nothing would have woken us up!!!
Oh and by that point they had replaced our towels and fixed our shower :) hehe
Lots of love Badger and Sazzy xxxx
Thank you Badger for my pressie of Quad biking and I hope you enjoyed yours! Happy Birthday xxxxx

We then continued... finding that the road had now become a dead end and we were kind of on a beachy thing.... Lol. Sazzy was asking for the chance to do doughnuts like what scardy pup does!!! (it was signposted scenic route!!!)
So we turned around and got back on the main road, where Badger took great pleasure in "seeing what the car had in it!!!" Making Sazzy's ass twitch like it's never twitched before!!!!
Sazzy then went to sleep for the rest of the journey!!!
We got back to the hotel, unpacked the car, went back to the room and were practically fighting over the shower! Badger looked like a native haha! We each had a shower, flagging up the problem that it was not draining and the whole bathroom was flooded!!! Sazzy then rang reception and sat outside to have a smoke. Badger just got ready for the evening and sorted himself out! (avoiding our new water feature) The guy came to check the shower and disappeared...
Sazzy got ready for dinner and we headed out for our long awaited steak Birthday dinner!!!
We got to the restaurant and were seated, we then chatted and Sazzy messed about with the camera blinding Badger a few times. Our steaks were bought out to us looking looooooovely. We both devoured our dinners, they did not touch the sides one bit!!! Badger was adamant that he wanted to get some pudding and I made him wait... I then gave in and took him up to have a look at the puddings. when we got back and sat down Badger had a beautiful birthday cake delivered and the staff trying to sing happy birthday to him! hehe :) the lady then went to give him the usual kiss on each cheek and Badger bless him didn't know what to do with himself.
After dinner we then headed to the bar... as we had been drink free before because of driving we had plenty of time to make up... we started on beer and B Freeze and by the end of the night Badger had sampled many cocktails and I had sampled a sip of each of his and one of my own they bought over for me!
After much drinking we were both soooooo tired we headed in and went to bed.... Nothing would have woken us up!!!
Oh and by that point they had replaced our towels and fixed our shower :) hehe
Lots of love Badger and Sazzy xxxx
Thank you Badger for my pressie of Quad biking and I hope you enjoyed yours! Happy Birthday xxxxx
Day 7 Mauritius
Well after a heavy drinking session last night we got up in the morning/mid-day.... we were going to pedalo to madagascar and have a glass bottom boat ride... we got to the boat house to find that there were 5 metre waves and some serious current going on so the beach was closed down for activities we went and took some piccies of the missing pier that got washed away over night and various bits and bobs...
The boathouse told us that next doors boat had just gone floating by where the ropes had snapped that were holding it still.
So we went off to the pool for a swim and it was sooooo warm it was like getting into a nice warm bath... Sazzy spent lots of time winding Badger up saying lets go shower and eat then not getting out of the pool! lol! (for the first time the water was warmer than being out of the pool so every time she came out to her waist she swam off again!!!) *it's worse than trying to catch the puppy when she's fist as a part!!!!*
Badger finally coaxed Sazzy out of the pool with promises of HOT shower and food... LOL
We got out the pool and each had a shower and got ready to come out for some food. we came to the bar and had Tamassa burgers!!!! which were alright.... (Badger enjoyed his) Sazzy uploaded some pictures we then went to the restaurant and had some dinner.... it was Italian night... mmmmmmmmm
Sazzy had Ministrone soup and rolls for starters, Badger went straight into the mains... (Lasagne... cheese pizza.... ceaser salad... funny marto saucey bready stuff...) Sazzy then went onto mains... (Lasagne... Pasta in boulognaise sauce... cheese pizza) MMMMMMMMMMM and more bread!!!!
We then went to the pub and had an Orangina and bottle of water... I think Badger had a beer...
We then buggered off to bed early so we could get up and do exciting things the next day for Badgers birthday...
Night night lol!!!
All our love...

Mauritius Day 6
Sazzy got up late today... Badger went and got her some breakfast and bought it back to the room!!!
Sazzy eventually got up and we went to see the lady to have a look at booking some exciting trips outside of the hotel walls :)
The lady was patient and sat down and went through the details of what Sazzy was asking... She'd asked Badger what he would like to do for his birthday and he'd said walk with LIONS!!!! (REAL LIONS!!!!)
Jolly good show... we found out about hiring a car and booked two excursions for Thursday... and arranged to pick up the Mitso Lancer Thursday morning...
We both went straight back to the room and to bed!!!
Later on we woke up (lunchtime) went upto reception and got a taxi to the local village so that Sazzy could go to the bank and so that we could get toothpaste as we were suddenly running low!
Sazzy went to the bank where she was told there was only one place on the Island that she could changed Indian Rupees unless she did it at the hotel where it would be a terrible exchange rate.
Sazzy used the cash machine and our taxi then took us to a supermarket where we ambled around and picked up some packets of crisps... we were hungry... was impulse shopping... was nearly a pounds worth of crispies!!! lol!
Picked up some toothpaste and headed outside where Sazzy sat and had a fag, we then got back into our taxi and came back to the hotel....
We got straight out of the taxi and went straight for food.... After food we went back to the room and had a little nap... Badger then watched the F1 and Sazzy went and uploaded some pics to the website...
The evening is just a blur... LOL!!!
All our love Sazzy and BADGER!!! *grrr* (little badger noise!!!)

Mauritius Day 4
Badger blog....
Today I woke up early to catch the F1. I flicked through all the channels, when I discovered that it wasn't on I rolled over and went back to sleep. We then woke up about midday, we both had a shower not rushing things :-P and then went for lunch around 2pm. For lunch we both had Croque monsieur (cheese and ham toasties) with chippies :-P and a few beers and cocktails!
After lunch we went back to the room and got changed for an afternoon of sun bathing. I covered myself in sun cream and then we both headed to the beach! After about 20 mins of cooking in the sun I went and took some pictures which can be found on the website.
After we were both well done, we headed back to the room, it was about 4ish at this point. We just chilled in the room for a while and headed to the reception so that sazzy could upload all the pictures that I had taken on the beach. After sazzy uploaded the pics onto the website we went for dinner. I had beef stir fry with noooooodles along with some tandori chicken, while sazzy had the beef and the noodles. We also had the mandatory beers and cocktails.
After dinner we moved into the bar where we continued drinking. While in the bar we both connected to the internet to talk to the little people! After a few drinks we headed back down to the beach where we took some more pics. (not yet up) We then headed back to our room and fell asleep around 1am ish.
All our love,
Badger and Sazzy xxxxx
He lied... he told me the crabbies would be asleep... and they wasn't!!!

Mauritius day 3
We got up... Sazzy yet again was having none of it... (and was trying to use the fact it was pissing it down yet again as an excuse to stay in bed!!!) went for breakfast Badger had rabies egg (Scrambled egg that looked like it was foaming in the pot) with Sausages and toast and fresh juice to compliment it! Sazzy had Bread with croissants and more bread and more croissants with Water, Orange and Coffee.
We then went for a walk as the rain had stopped for the first time since yesterday to have a look around... well typhoon... yes the beach was slightly... well rather washed away, we continued to walk down the beach, we needed to start loosing some of the calories so we walked a fair way and past the next hotel... On the way back Badger pointed out a crab... YES WE HAVE CRABS!!! Not only do they look fucking evil as they are white with like redish black eyes... but they run forwards and backwards not just sideways, Sazzy is not happy.... there are millions of them from 5pence peice size to FUCKING HUGE (maybe an inch or so big...) we then walked back up the beach to our room.
We got back and the maid was making our room up for us. (Man I think we both need one of these for at our homes!!!) So we sat outside and Sazzy smoked a little bit.
We then managed to get into our freshly made room...
Sazzy went back to sleep AGAIN!!! While Badger watched some tv/films as it started raining again on our way back.
We then went for lunch.... Badger indulged in Pizza stuff (dirty fishy style stuffs) and Salad... (with as always BEER!!!!) Sazzy had Pizza... the only kind worth eating... Cheese and tomatoe... with water!
We then went back to our room and got ready to go for a kyaking experience!!! Ok... so Sazzy packed the essentials into her kyak... (FAGS & SUNCREAM...) Badger... Just a towel... Badger was wizzing around in the lagoon like there was no tomorrow... Sazzy was paddling and still being blown backwards and nearly ended up on the hotel next doors beach!!! Badger came back to the rescue... and Sazzy asked if we could call it a day... so we went in and headed off to the pool... which was fine... Until Sazzy wanted something warmer after her sea experience... "forget this... lets just go jump in the Jacuzzi..." so it was done....
Sazzy and Badger stayed in the Jacuzzi for a bit, then sazzy went off for a quick Sauna then back to the apppartment to get changed before the rain set in again...
We each had a shower then Sazzy fell asleep on Badger (AGAIN!!!) We then got up and Sazzy did her makeup and got ready...
We went for dinner in the "Show" restaurant where Badger had BEER and Spicey Sausage stuff (CURRY he says...), Chicken Curry, Rice, Bread, like thin naan bread things... Sazzy had B FREEZE cocktail again!!! and Spicey Sausage stuff... Chicken Curry, Rice, Lamb something or other... and Naan style bread things... YEAH HARDCORE!!! (sorry if there are no blogs tomorrow... Sazzy could be spending the day in the loo...)
After dinner we walked across to the library and IT room... and made a blog...

Mauritius day two...
Well we got up this morning... Sazzy was having none of it and was more than willing to use the fact it was pissing it down as an excuse to stay in bed!!!! We went to the restaurant and had Sausages, fresh cooked before your very eyes omlette, fresh toast, satayed potatoes and musrooms!!! (BADGER), Sazzy tried the cocopops, but was not pleased they tasted like the box had been left open for a few days and the milk was almost fresh off the hob hot! She then opted for the various breads and croissants with mmmm butter! hehe.
After breakfast we went to see our rep for our welcome meeting where she talked to us about excursions and all the things that weren't free that we could spend our money on. We like the idea of quad biking and doing a walk with the lions where we get to touch them and everything.
After this we went back to the room and got changed and headed to the pool, badger had a swim and sazzy got up to her belly button before bottling it! We then lay in the sunshine for a while to dry off before heading straight for the SPA!!!! (will try get some pics of this up soon!!! SOOOOOO LUSH!!!) Sazzy headed straight for the Jacuzzi while Badger was torn between the pool (pool number4 might I add!!! All of which are infinity style pools!) and the Jacuzzi. Sazzy soon ran off to the Steam room leaving Badger to float around the Jacuzzi! Badger then went in the pool while Sazzy lay out on the RELAXING beds!!! Finally joining Badger in the pool... Yes and swimming!!!! head under the water and everything. Then straight back into the jacuzzi to warm up then to the Sauna to get even more toasted :-) Badger was not a fan of the heat but was coping! Sazzy forgot that her jewlery would get very hot... and burn her :-( so it was outside for a cold shower for us both!!!! (Yes it was FREEZING!!!!)
Back to the room for a shower and to get changed for lunch! The "Show" restaurant was closed so we went to the beach bar which was also closed, so we headed up to the poolside bar where we just had a "tamassa Burger" which consisted of tomatoes fried egg and a fair amount of beef and some veg style stuff along with balsamic vinegar lol! Sazzy had Fillet steak sandwich with roasted peppers and some other stuff in there and we each had a bowl of chips :)
Along with our foods we have just indulged in Beer (Badger) Bel Ombre Sunset (Sazzy with Badgers help) which consisted of Vodka, Triple Sec, Orange & Passion Juice, and grenadine syrup followed by a few each of the B Freeze which consists of Creme de Cacao, Chocolate and vanilla, Ice cream, Milk, mint syrup. MMMMMMMMMM I'm still drinking my last one... badgers didn't touch the sides!!! MMMMMMm we are certainly going to be having many more of these!!!!
Tonight there is a night club open... we could be sampling this or we may do other things... you'll have to watch this space for new info of tonights evil shenanigans :-)
All our love again
Sazzy and Badger :-)

Mauritius day one of arrival
We got through the passport control, and headed through the terminal, to find ourselves at another checkpoint... "Health Control Check" We passed... Puppy didn't!
After that we walked through, the day before we arrived on the 12th was their independance day so there were flags and lots of decorations through the airport, judging by the sign that said "40 ans" I imagine it's their 40th year of independance. There was also a lovely water feature with bamboo and lots of pots and things in the airport.
We collected our bags and headed out through to the exit, where we were met by a gentleman holding a "Mr/S Coleman" sign.... I wasn't aware I'd grown balls or that Badger had adopted the family name! lol!!!
We were then taken aside welcomed to the island and give a bottle of water each and a nice wet towel to have a wipe down with. Our bags were promptly taken and put on a trolley then a porter called to take them to the car! I holted the guy so that I could have a smoke outside the building before we went on our journey.
We were then walked to our car where our driver came out and met us welcomed us again to the island and put our bags in the car, and we both had the doors opened and closed for us on the car :) hehe!!! *FIRST CLASS!!!* We were then driven to the hotel which was almost an hours drive, our driver told us along the way all sorts of information about the island and about various place which we passed through including going over a HUUUUUGGEEE river!!!
We arrived at the hotel where our car doors were opened for us and our bags taken out of the car. The hotel staff took our bags and led us through to the reception room in the photograph page. We were sat down and given a chilled towel to wipe our faces with and given some kind of mango smoothie thing.
We then had to fill out some paperwork and were given our room key. The porter was instructed to take our bags to our room.
We were walked to our room which is loooovely and air conditioned with a mini bar :-p!!!
We walked past the spa and the games room and fitness centre and instructed where they were and that we could use them all.
We were each given a free treatment card for something which we shall report on at some point... vibra therapy or something :-S!
We then chilled out checked the room, took some pics of puppy messing around to show fay and mikey.
We each had a shower in the MASSIVE SHOWER it has rain bar setting and everything!!!
We then headed off to the restaurant for some lunch where we had a buffet lunch of Thai curry (Badger) and I had Beef... in... somekind of strange sauce... that's not the official term mind, and started drinking :-)....
After dinner we went for a little walk, via the beach bar to see what sort of food they had on the menu... we decided while we were there to sample more alcoholic beverages... :)
After all they are free :) (thanks mum and dad Oooh and GRANNY!!!)
We then went for a walk along the beach and a little paddle in the sea :-) then back to the room.
The beach is very nice but very coarse because of all the coral!!! YES SAZZY ACTUALLY WENT BARE FOOT IN THE SEA AND ON THE SAND...!!!!!!!!!!!
Badger had a small sleep and Sazzy went to upload some pictures to the internet and had a little chat with a few people on MSN who seemed everso jealous! hehe!!!
Sazzy went back and met up with Badger when he woke up and they got ready to go down for something to eat for the evening....
We arrived at the restaurant who didn't care that we were smart casual and sent us back to put on some "trousers" We took a walk down to see what the food was in the other restaurant and decided to go change. We went back and changed and headed back to the top restaurant...
While there we sampled Chili con carne, chicken satay, corn pancakes a few beers, with some lovely chocolate thing for pudding (BADGER) Fresh made pizza... (I didn't like what they were serving and had them make me a cheese and tomatoe one) I also tried something off badgers plate, had more vodka and had some NAAASTY chocolate thing (the one Badger liked)! We also tried a creme brulae that was marked down as a vanilla one... happened to be coconut... Luckey they didn't have that one back Yuck but Badger enjoyed it! We tried some battered apple with blackberry sauce which they told me was strawberry!!!!
After dinner we went to the bar and had a bit more drink, we then headed back to the room because I was tired and didn't feel too great! It had been a long day.
We got back to the room and I ran a bath and had all the candles round the bath... I fell asleep in the bath before I managed to light them lol!!!!
I then got out the bath and went to bed.
Niiiiiiiight... end of day one!!!!
All our love

After that we walked through, the day before we arrived on the 12th was their independance day so there were flags and lots of decorations through the airport, judging by the sign that said "40 ans" I imagine it's their 40th year of independance. There was also a lovely water feature with bamboo and lots of pots and things in the airport.
We collected our bags and headed out through to the exit, where we were met by a gentleman holding a "Mr/S Coleman" sign.... I wasn't aware I'd grown balls or that Badger had adopted the family name! lol!!!
We were then taken aside welcomed to the island and give a bottle of water each and a nice wet towel to have a wipe down with. Our bags were promptly taken and put on a trolley then a porter called to take them to the car! I holted the guy so that I could have a smoke outside the building before we went on our journey.
We were then walked to our car where our driver came out and met us welcomed us again to the island and put our bags in the car, and we both had the doors opened and closed for us on the car :) hehe!!! *FIRST CLASS!!!* We were then driven to the hotel which was almost an hours drive, our driver told us along the way all sorts of information about the island and about various place which we passed through including going over a HUUUUUGGEEE river!!!
We arrived at the hotel where our car doors were opened for us and our bags taken out of the car. The hotel staff took our bags and led us through to the reception room in the photograph page. We were sat down and given a chilled towel to wipe our faces with and given some kind of mango smoothie thing.
We then had to fill out some paperwork and were given our room key. The porter was instructed to take our bags to our room.
We were walked to our room which is loooovely and air conditioned with a mini bar :-p!!!
We walked past the spa and the games room and fitness centre and instructed where they were and that we could use them all.
We were each given a free treatment card for something which we shall report on at some point... vibra therapy or something :-S!
We then chilled out checked the room, took some pics of puppy messing around to show fay and mikey.
We each had a shower in the MASSIVE SHOWER it has rain bar setting and everything!!!
We then headed off to the restaurant for some lunch where we had a buffet lunch of Thai curry (Badger) and I had Beef... in... somekind of strange sauce... that's not the official term mind, and started drinking :-)....
After dinner we went for a little walk, via the beach bar to see what sort of food they had on the menu... we decided while we were there to sample more alcoholic beverages... :)
After all they are free :) (thanks mum and dad Oooh and GRANNY!!!)

Dubai to Mauritius!
Blogged before getting onto the plane, it was another beoing 777-300. Forgot to say I had a very quick spell in the smoking room at Dubai Airport, that was an experience I don't care to have again.
Went and checked in at the gate and they were so polite and nice... Very good morning to you Miss Sazzy (obviously my real name) and very good morning to you Mr Matthew... lol!!!
Emirates staff then asked for puppies passport and boarding card... I thought we were going to be leaving her to her own devices at Dubai international... Thankfully they let her on board and I didn't have to leave her to start a new life in the terminal building!!!
We boarded a half full plane... the Emirates staff did say to us that we could have an upgrade... for a trade of the puppy.... We didn't think first class was worth my life having to explain to mother puppy was now a part of the Emirates crew!!!
Take off was much much nicer this time... followed by a light snack of Chicken Fahita... (some fucking spicey chicken shit anyway!)? Sandwich and cooooooooookies!!! Puppy kept putting hers in her pocket and saying they were for the dogs at the other end ;-)
Puppy aquired yet another purple Emirates pillow... :-s!!! She pushed it into Badgers bag without anyone noticing...
After a short sleep... neither of us did a good job of it we were served breakfast which was omlette beans and well they were meant to be mushrooms... it was rancid... but all the same better than a kick in the teeth... by this point Badger and I had indulged in a fair amount of vodka and beer ;-) After all it was complimentary... and we started at b'ham early the morning before!!!
We arrived at Mauritius early this morning it was pissing down and only 24oC outside... but we you know managed on through the terminal building and stuff... will continue later!!!
Take care love to all

Birmingham International to Dubai!!!
After a short trip to Birmingham this morning we sat around for a bit and had lunch at the airport with a very small amount of shopping.
We then boarded our flight to Dubai. The flight was ok with a fair amount of turbulance and an alright meal.
I opted for the curry and ate all of it :-) Badger had the Lamb medalions which he enjoyed.
We have just landed at Dubai airport and had a transfer bus which might I add was really really warm!!!
I did a very very quick spot of duty free shopping for some YSL menthol fags... and am now sat in departures with the lovely Badger waiting for our connecting flight to Mauritius! :-)
Bring on the sunshine!!!!
:-) Big loves to all
