Fantastic Friends

The final few weeks before we left Cuba were still all go although unfortunately Amanda was not well on her birthday so that came and went without celebration.
A week went by with the final few boat jobs and a few visits to the beach but not much else until Cheryl, Paul, Finlay and Molly arrived.  They were staying at the Allegro Occidental hotel in Varadero so we our first get together was at the hotel and yet another over protective hotel where we were not allowed to move from reception.  After almost 3 years of not seeing each other there was lots to catch up on, not least the fact that Paul and Cheryl had moved from the UK to Rhodes at the same time we left on the boat and during this time Finlay had grown from a toddler to a full grown 5 year old! And there was now Molly, how exciting.


So over the next few days hours were spent chatting and more chatting.  We visited the beach in Varadero and also had a trip to the park but the kids were amazingly patient as we just talked and talked.  Finlay loved the fact that he had another child to play with in the sea, Mark is the biggest kid ever and Molly seemed quite happy with her new friends.
