God, we are lazy. We had a very lazy day today and didn’t venture out of our room until nearly 11.30am. But hey, we’re on holiday!
With shorts on we ventured to the green palm lined balcony. The sun was shining off Dan's Canada tan like it does shining on the moon. Lucky the main restaurant closes at 10:30 for brekky but the poolside restaurant recognizes that there are some truly lazy souls out there and serves continental breakfast from 10.30am to 12.00pm. So we enjoyed lots of fresh fruits under the enormous thatched roof overlooking the pool this morning. By this time it was close enough to mid day so we pulled up our lounger chair beside the pool and Dan dived in to get a couple of drinks. Yep, the pool has a bar that has seats in the water that you can sit down and not have to leave the pool. How good is that!!
Later in the day after consuming far too many drinks and too much food we decided to head down the beach for a walk. The sun set was great and the weather was perfect on a balmy evening. It was so nice to be back in shorts and t-shirts although we both realized how pale we have gotten. Oh well a month of this sunshine should fix that. We later found a gate into another Rui Hotel. Wow, we thought, how flash is this place. We didn’t realize until we tried to get some champagne at the bar that this was the hotel that we weren’t supposed to be in. Oops, never mind. I was quite looking forward to that champagne too.
At dinner that night we met a lovely couple, Wayne and Julia, who have just retired in their late forties (something to aspire too) from the UK. We ended up chatting for a couple of hours and headed over to the bar for the nightly entertainment, which was Karaoke. The people that sang were actually really quite good with only one or two very average people. We ended up calling it a night at 1.30pm in the morning. We realized we had been drinking 13 hours straight, but felt remarkably good. On the way back to the room we saw a Coati, which is an animal with a fluffy tail that looks a little like a raccoon. There were a few of them out and running through the lobby and the gardens. Alas, it was one of the few occasions that Dan didn’t have his camera on him and we missed a photo. Never mind, I’m sure we’ll see another one over the week.
