Honeymoon with myself

Time: 8am

Sight: Warm ocean breezes rock me in my hammock above the white sand beach on my commodious private terrace.

Sound: classical Indian music paying at level 11 of 10 on my jambox

The a/c controls in every hotel in East Africa seem to be overridden at night to 18 degrees C (which is 64F for the American Imperial imperialists) regardless of the setting.  I freeze every night.  I covered myself with sumptuous fluffy pillows last night.  Imagine when I opened my windows in my over-air conditioned room:

Or when I explored by Arab balcony.

Everything changed and I realized my Swiss clockwork schedule might have to change.  Or will it?  I thought what do I really enjoy if apparently I can have anything I want?  Is this a different more playful didactic 60's Star Trek episode?

Well, number one would be coffee, even though it's instant and the door fell off the fridge when I looked for milk, which there is none of.

Then my next self indulgent pleasure would be to write about my trip, which I am doing.  And publish it.  But not to the extent that it interrupted exercise, gorgeous meals or touring.  So I guess my Swiss mentality is what I really want, tempered by my Aussie enjoyment of good living.  Ok, so gonna put up the hammock, enjoy the sea breeze for ten min over coffee sit in the hammock, finally get the classical Indian music going, and prep for a swim and tai chi before brekkie..

Better call my travel guy before brekkie to arrange the Stonetown tour since that all got bolluxed last night with room swaps. But after ten minutes, I am wondering if I can get myself off this hammock.  After a week of rugged suffering to experience wildlife, this is soothing my battered body.  Ahhhh, that is the logic to this century-old East African packaged safari circuit tradition.  Thanks, Helen.  (My regular Africa travel agent in Cape Town.)

F#$k, this is paradise.  But I am facing the wrong way in the iPhone selfie.  Much better five min later.
