After a lot of flip-flops on deciding whether to go out or not last weekend, we finally made it to Manori. Bryan first went off to Pali Hill resort in Uttan as part of his summer camp ( I remembered our days when the parish used to take us all to Gorai) and we collected him from there in the evening before proceeding to Manori.
We had a nice big room for 10 people (there were 2 other couples with us) and of course the "ubiquitous Dojo" trotting around and getting in everyone' way:-) We "captured" one of 4 lofts raised on stilts that are available on first-come-first-served basis and settled with our snacks and drinks. There was a DJ that night and we "shook a leg" (especially us men after feeling invigorated with the liqour). That night, I slept fitfully because I was worried that Dojo would wake up the others (who are not used to having a dog in the same room) and the rascal thought I wanted to play with him! He periodically jumped on my bed and nibbled my toes and made me gasp everytime he dug his cold nose in my side:-) At one time, he started kicking the maid' hair clip around the room and I had to get up and wiggle a finger at him. His response? Snapping at my extended fore-finger playfully!
The next morning involved treats of beer, fish and chicken. There were pool games and I had to literally ask the owners of the resort to drain the pool inorder to get Bryan out of it! We arrived home late evening on Sunday and Dojo seemed relieved to return cause he fell off to sleep immediately, peaceful in the comfort of our home.
