He was also our alarm clock, and as soon as we unlocked our doors this morning he was there with breakfast.<\/p>\n<p>Gross- Most of breakfast. We all drank the juice and had the two slices of toast, but I think I was the only one who ate beyond that. I had a few bites of the slimy fried egg and the piece of carrot.<\/p>\n<p>Tasty- Supper could be described this way. We ordered ours without the duck and pork and were, I think, pleasantly surprised. For the main course three of us had the sweet-and-sour chicken and vegetables (which consisted mainly of baby corn and onion). Ethan had the chicken with macadamia nuts. His curry was red, unlike ours, which was whitish with chicken and onions. We all had the same soup, and three small slices of pineapple were our desserts.<\/p>\n<p>Umm\u2026- Okay, this isn\u2019t exactly an adequate description of the fruit plate we bought, but it\u2019s accurate. There were apples, huge grapes, and three or four other types of fruit that I can\u2019t rightly name.<\/p>\n<p>Loud- That would be the train.<\/p>\n<p>Bumpy- Also the train.<\/p>\n<p>Ciao!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night was, quite literally, a bumpy night.
