The honeymoon (Part 1) - Aruba

What can I say about Aruba, other than wow! After the stresses and strains of the previous few weeks the R&R in Aruba felt incredible. We knew we would be tired after it - having been told by friends how it was for them - but it's not until you are in that position yourself until you realise how much you crash.

We stayed in the low rise area of the island in the Bucuti Beach and Tara Suites resort. The 'modest' room looked like this...
The view from the balcony was pretty impressive also. Not too far to go to the loungers (or the beach bar - to the left).We made some interesting friends in Aruba, although Lynne didn't appreciate the company during meal times!!
We got over it though and always managed to relax during the afternoon happy hour, with a cocktail or four...

Photo time

Our photographer on the day was Philip Daly and he did an amazing job. He ticked all the boxes we had in terms of how a photographer should operate. In particular, he never obstructed proceedings and took some amazing shots which we didn't even notice.
See for yourself with the online slide show of the day which he posted.
