Time flies when you are.... working

I have been here for over a month now and so much has happened. I wanted to write a blog more often, but unfortunately I have not been able to realize that yet.
The hotel is open for about 3 weeks now and lots of people have been coming and going already. I have met so many nice and helpful people, it is amazing.

I have to admit that the days are rather long and pretty exhausting sometimes. This is because we work from 9.45 am until 12.00 am. Ofcourse we have got some breaks during the day, but these vary from 1 hour up to 4,5 hours a day. The good thing is that we have got one day a week off. My day off is usually split up in two. On my day off I like to do some nice things, but also just relax on the beach and do nothing at all.

At the moment we already finished one round of our two week programme and started with the second one. I like most of the shows we have and slowly you can see that we are improving aswell. It is always nice to see that people like the show and that they are enthusiastic about it. The activities during the day are also very nice to do and it is so good to see how much fun the people have while joining. One day a week I am also in the mini club with the kids, for me it is pretty easy to communicate with most of them because I speak Dutch, German and English.

Unfortunately the internet is still not working properly here, so we try to manage with the internet possibilities we have got. That is also why I am a bit behind with replying to messages and emails.

In my second week I got the most amazing surprise ever. We just finished our Lord of the Dance show in the theatre and we were dancing our club dance when I saw a group of people standing out of the theatre. I was looking who they were and while I was looking I once saw my sister and her boyfriend standing there and I was looking again, because I thought I was not right. How could they be here? It was so nice, I tried to spend as much time with them as possible. In total I had two evenings and one day until 19.50 pm sparetime. So we went away and saw parts of the island and the city. The sad thing is that time passes by really fast here and before I knew it they had to leave again. It was not nice to see them leave again, but I was really happy that they came here to visit me.

I will give it another try to upload a new post very soon. But as you all know, I do not make promisses. Thank you for all the nice responses and to answer the questions, I work here as an animator and I will stay here until the hotel closes again in October.
