rowanfSo yesterday we did tool around town and stop in a few shops. I got a black and pink hibiscus coverup (made from a sarong) sewn for me on the fly but an enterprising shopkeeper with a sewing machine.
After we headed back to the hotel we finally hit the swim up bar - I have wanted to be at a swim up bar for years. Bucket list item checked off. We had a drink that was basically rum and diet coke but with a splash of triple sec and kahlua. And then Kurt had a very multicolor drinked called "sky" that looked like a sunset (and was probably way to sweet for me). We met the nice couple from Birmingham, England we had chatted with the night before and decided to have dinner together. Evidently the original plan had been to serve dinner by the pool and have an "aqua show" but the thunderstorms made them move dinner inside. Thus we were invited in the middle of dinner to go out by the pool to see the show. And they cleared our places and had to make us dinner all over again. But we had a fun visit anyway.
Then off to bed fairly early as we had an 8:30 dive. Kurt finished his last qualifying dive and off we went (yes, I was let back in the water) on a wild reef dive with Gil leading Kurt and I through arches in the coral. I wore the gopro, so I hope to have underwater pix of him diving soon. We came back, grabbed a quick lunch and I had a 90 minute hot stone massage.
Now I'm just chilling and working on pictures. I may try to get into WoW just to see if they'll cut me off for being in a foreign country like they did when I was in Europe.
