Tuesday - A Relaxing Day in the Sun

This morning started with the regulars hitting the gym, but Brad and Lyle hit the pool deck early to reserve a group of ‘ideal’ lounge chairs. Time for lots of reading, relaxing and conversation. Oleg and his daughter took out one of the Seadoo’s that are available for rental on the beach. There is quite a breeze today, so the water is choppy – which made his managing the Seadoo a bit of a challenge.

You know it is a relaxing day – when the highlight is a visit from a Pelican that had a great time swimming around the pool, through the pool volley ball players, and swimmers. There are three cruise ships in the harbour, and we can see the tenders coming and going all day.

Harry and Barb went for a walk along the beach while a few of the others (which will go unnamed) are making it down the list of drinks at the swim-up bar.

This evening we are headed down the beach for a dinner organized by Brad. We met in the Lobby at 7:15, and took three cabs to a restaurant on the beach. The restaurant as you can see had tables set out on the beach, and we had a large table set up in such a way that we could all see and chat with each other. The wine was wonderful, the food exquisite and the service was attentive. Dinner took long enough that we were able to enjoy the entertainer who sang a variety of songs – from all artists from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. He was also able to respond to requests. The food was topped off with desserts and wonderful Tequila.
After dinner we sat around a campfire on the beach – a few enjoying a roasted marshmallow, though I think that most were way too satisfied by then.
About half of us – including Harry and Barb returned to the hotel around midnight – not sure when the others returned.

Tomorrow Barb and Harry are going golfing early in the morning, so this will not get posted until after the game.
