Well, as much as we tried to cool off yesterday, today we needed to seriously consider it. The goal, sit in the shade of the trees around our resort and read.
First we scooted off to have breakfast with our guy. Amazing as always. Then we bought some fruit at the market, found a place selling Styrofoam coolers, bought ice, drinks, etc… and headed back.
After rounding up some loungers we set in on our books and didn’t really look up until it was too dark to read. We finished with dinner with our guy again.
With 2 goals, 1 to see the island, 2 to stay out of the sun a bit, we decided to scoot down south (the goal we originally had the day we ended up on the east side of the island.)
We stopped along the way for breakfast, drinks, and spent a good chunk of time at a beach side bar which had some umbrellas and loungers on the sand. My routine was, have a dip, sit in the chair till the wind dried off the water, then have a dip. I kept that up for a good while, Amy and Jen played cards and used the free internet… eventually we took off to find some food and ended up at a really nice place.
Our road eventually became a bumpy dirt mess, and we trucked on for a while, but we wanted to hit the pool before it closed so we turned back. Jen spotted monkeys and we stopped for pictures… after a night time swim we had a couple of drinks to cool off before hitting the hut. This time Jen had her own hut, a much nicer, ocean view, working fan hut.
