Seeing in the NEW YEAR

Wow what an awesome night! We had such a good time. The hotel was just beautiful we had the honeymoon suite which was there best room in the hotel. It had the biggest bed, a large enclosed in balcony, the biggest bathroom and an awesome SPA. It was at the WATERMARK hotel right in Surfers just in front of the Q1 tower, this was the only downfall for the hotel. The Q1 building was built across the road from the Watermark, you still get a view of the beach etc but would be better if it wasn't there!



The bathroom was awesome and had the biggest spa in it, it had stairs that led up to the spa and it was right against the window of the bathroom so you could look out to the view. Had to have the blinds closed during the day as you would be able to see right into the window from the other hotel rooms, I noticed many people had binoculars..... But at night we turned out all the lights and opened up the blinds and sat there with the music playing in the back ground and looking at the great view, this was so cool. Yep that is right check out the photos, there was even a TV, stereo, DVD etc in a cabinet behind the glass wall...




The bed was huge as well and so comfortable and you had a pillow selection that you could ring and order a pillow that you needed. Was going to order a boomerang one cause I cant sleep without mine but the pillows on the bed were good enough. But at 1 am in the morning Andrew wanted to ring up and order a pillow just to get them to get us one LOL....
We had champagne on arrival, which we never drank, not into wine. We went for a walk into Surfers and had lunch at the Coffee Club. Walked around than went back to our room and had a SPA... we went down to the Club Room for free drinks and Canapes, before dinner. Than went back to our rooms and got changed to go for a walk on the beach, sat on the beach and had a few drinks and watched the fireworks. OMG it was completely different from what we were use to... Me and Andrew were sitting on the beach and he said exactly what I was thinking "this is different".... any other year we would just be at home either in bed before 12 or wait until 12 than go to bed.... boring hey.... but this year was awesome!





This photo is actually taken on the beach and you can see the blue light WATERMARK in the distance and this was our hotel.
We went back to our room and watched the midnight fireworks from there. We could see everything going on in the streets from our balcony. There were people everywhere it was loud you could see all the parties on other hotel balcony's. People were throwing rolls of toilet paper out there windows and it was flying in the air. But the good thing was once we shut our balcony door the noise was gone, we watched a bit of TV drank a bit more, yes that is right I was drinking. I was drunk mind you and I never get in this state, but why not we were here to party Andrew said...


Not the best photos of the fireworks, most of them looked like they were possessed or aliens....
Definitely had a great new year and can only hope it is going to get better for US from this night on. This was an awesome Christmas Present from Charlene and Stephen and glad we were able to share this with them, they had a room at the other end of the floor we were on. Thanks to POP too for looking after Jamie and Tonka....
