Day 5 - Wednesday, Chillazing

Today was a day of just chillin. We got up late, had breakfast and walked in a light rain, not much but it did rain.  It had cleared by 11ish so we hung on the beach: some swimming, some testing out their new snorkel gear. It was a lazy morning.

We were on the beach maybe two hours total and in the shade when not in the water, yet the girls picked up another layer of burn. You just can't appreciate how hot the sun is down here.

After the beach and lunch, were were hanging at the pool when June and Donna actually asked to go out in the Hobie Cat they have for guests on the beach. At the time the winds were blowing a good 25mph. When I asked the kid running the shop if they were too strong, he laughed at me. Well now I had to go.  I had not been on a Hobie in about 40 years, but told the kid..no worries...I got this.

By the time we got on the Cat, the winds had come down by about one half and were inconsistent. We struggled between going no where and going too fast, but eventually I managed to figure out how to make it go where we wanted.  It was a fun time.

















We have wanted to check out the Aquarium, a restaurant down the beach, so decided to walk down there for a before dinner drink.

The place is pretty close to a perfect beach setting, nestled into the palm trees right on the beach.  We may come back for dinner before the week is out.



















After our before dinner drink we went to another before dinner drink event put on at the resort by the management. Basically they set up a reception with drinks and hors d'oeuvres where they greet their guests and thank them for staying with them. It was nice.

At the reception we hung out with a couple from Canada we met on our island tour. They later joined us for dinner and sat with us on the terrace until we retired.  She is a nurse and he retired from the power company. They were very nice and it is always fascinating to hear how people from other places live. Same problems, it's life..but very interesting.

Thursday we have booked a snorkel excursion for the afternoon.....back to playing.
