Off to the beach today. We rose a little later feeling fine after our late night last night and headed off to one of the other hotels to use their beach. Another beautiful day and the water was surprisingly warm and so blue so we swam around for a little while. 
We then decided to do some kayaking. We shared a two person kayak, made a smooth exit out through the waves and we were off! All was going smooth and then Dan’s paddle snapped in two. So back to shore to swap it over (with the guy trying to charge us for it – I don’t think so buddy) and we were off again. After a while of paddling we stopping, led back in the kayak with our legs dangling over the side faces in the sun and thought the old catchphrase “this, is living”. We eventually paddled back in to lay in the sun again for a while. We then dove into another pool and sat at the bar in the water and had a drink and then into another restaurant for lunch. It seems that what to drink and eat are the hardest decisions that we have to make at the moment.
There are lots of wildlife around the hotel including these big rat like creatures (not sure what they are called - ratties perhaps?) and Howler Monkeys that hang out amongst the trees. We spent a bit of time wildlife spotting around the hotel.
We eventually headed back for a shower and pre-dinner drinks. The beauty here is you end up trying all of these drinks that you wouldn’t otherwise because if you don’t like them, you just don’t drink them. I tried a Raspberry Martini. Looked nice – tasted like crap. 
Off for another lovely dinner. We admired this display of fruit carvings. Very artistic.
That night we watched a Mexican special at the hotel. There were amazing Mexican dancers who did traditional dances to traditional music complete with costumes. They were excellent. The most amazing dance consisted of all eight of them dancing with beer bottles on their head then two with trays complete with beer bottles and full glasses without spilling any. The dancing was good fun and it we liked seeing a bit of the traditional side of Mexico.
