Just that after a wonderful stay , one would like to ease back into the " world " with an airline which takes pampering seriously
Really appreciate your photos & posts .
Please let us know how you find the other parts of the property , submarine excursions , etcetera . Do you find it claustrophobic ?
Our flight was on an old 737, so not exactly earth shattering. It was still far superior to any European business class product, but certainly not something you should bother trying out for the sake of it. I wasn't aware that their new A330 seems to only fly on specific days, but as the flight is only 3 hours 50 minutes to get there, it's the equivalent of me flying to Athens and isn't worth getting too bothered about.
It has not rained in about 48 hours, but the sun is still playing hide and seek. And it's winning most of the time. Even so, we've been able to enjoy some of the many, many activities that are on offer, including: farm yard visit, horse riding x 3, submarine again, jet skis, underwater scooter, daily private yoga sessions, sunset cruises, hikes and the spa. Basically trying to cram 7 days of activities into the 2 days where it's been decent.
Underwater scooter. The pool is so large that using underwater equipment is probably the only way to get around it.
Horse riding
If you think your standard Aman has lots of seating areas, you have seen nothing

Here's a video of moi in the submarine as it was submerging:
