Not much of a blog today! No notes, few photos.
We did all the things we do every day (got up, hung out, had breakfast). We were supposed to head to the beach before breakfast today but it was raining a little so we didn’t go until after. Sarah and I went into town before breakfast and went grocery shopping for snacks for the day and bread. There was no bread at the grocery store so she went into the bakery down the road and got some more.
Jay and Trev went diving this morning.
When the rest of us got to the beach we rented beach chairs. Julia and I shared a set for $33USD and an umbrella. We parked under the umbrella while the kids played in the water. Then a few of them went snorkeling and came back and said it was amazing so Sarah and I went over and snorkeled for half an hour or so, we saw lots of fish in the roped off area just to the side of the beach that has coral and sand.
Around noon Juls, Anthony and Sarah went into the restaurant to get a drink and that ended up turning into all of us having lunch at the restaurant. Jay and Trev ended up skipping their second dive and came down to meet us. I ordered a burger with grilled pineapple, jalapeño and banana ketchup (which was a banana sauce). It was delicious. The girls shared a burger and Jay had cheesecake since he and Trev has eaten in town.
This is the view out of the restaurant where we were sitting.
Trev had been trying to take a photo of the bird that was flying in the restaurant. When he left it landed in his spot.
The kids went snorkeling after lunch again and Ellie came back and said she saw a cool fish and she named it. What did she name it? Nardy. Anthony said “Salty Nardy?” Jeff says he’ll have to get her a book for slang words for mans junk.
When we got back to the house we went straight in the pool. Jay, Sarah A and I came up first so I made a pitcher of sours to have when Trev and Juls got back. I had to resort to lime juice in a bottle which is NOT even close to fresh squeezed limes but better than not having the tequila at all! I made a pitcher of Pina coladas to drink in the meantime and left a pitcher of virgin Pina coladas for the kids when they got back as well.
We discussed again going on a river cruise on a small ship and renting out the entire ship. Some have only 32 passengers and one that Sarah looked up had rooms all the same with balconies, as opposed to one with several tiers of rooms so some are better than others and priced accordingly. Jeff had said if we go on one of those that we should still set a flat rate per room and have a contest day where the winners get the ‘master suite’. I explained that two things would happen -1- Whoever won Jay would just pay them to take that room and -2- he would only agree to this format if he didn’t have to have me as his partner. So true. We’re thinking 2020, no kids, Cambodia and Vietnam, 7 days and then do your own thing to extend your trip - and have about 11 staterooms left if anyone is interested in coming!
Dinner was stewed chicken or fish, rice and veggies. Again it was delicious.
I don’t know what happened after that because I went to bed! It was 7:30pm. I read my book for a bit and was asleep before Jay and the girls came down.
