Breakfast in the sky (no diamonds?)

By John Roberts 29 October 2008 01:23:00

As you know, we are well known for our tendency to accept any invitation proffered, especially if we feel there may be a free banana in it for us; so when the gilt edged envelope arrived recently to attend a breakfast on our very own Sunset Sala turned up on the camp's proverbial door mat (there is some speculation that I might be the camp's figurative door mat and it is well known that we don't have a literal door mat) you will not be surprised to learn we felt that we should make an effort, get dressed up early and get up there.

    With the panoramic views of all three countries, with the rustle of bamboo in the breeze, with the slightly more urgent noise of bamboo between massive molars, with the storms rumbling below us - safe 'neath our macaranga leaf, perhaps I was in a romantic mood but it got me thinking, what better place to pop the question? - of course you wouldn't invite thirty of your best friends as our hosts had (would you? - this coming from a guy who proposed in the check-in queue at Charles de Gaulle) - then we could have breakfast in the sky with diamonds.

 

 ...the guys await the arrival of the first phase of the Toyota's best sales folks worldwide...



...s'not raining, honest, safe to sit down to your fried eggs, waffles and espresso...



...of course, if you were going to pop the question you might not require a staff of thousands, but perhaps an anniversary breakfast with your best friends?..



...this being a Four Seasons event, of course breakfast was laid on for the eles too - like I said, wherever there's a free banana or two, that's where we'll be.
