Day 1 and 2 Monday and Tuesday

This is a gorgeous resort. Tall stone walls, a canal type thing running through the centre, lots of jungle, lots of wildlife. Weather hasn’t been great, warm, but very overcast. We had lots of drizzle and showers today.

We started with breakfast at the beach. Breakfast is great. You can never go wrong with fresh omlettes.
We then explored the beach area. They have built an artificial cove with a white sandy beach. The rest of the shore is rocky, and has high waves. The cove is lovely and calm, and the fish swim right up close. The resort is very obviously not full. We had plenty of chairs to choose from at the beach. I wandered off and found this bed/hammock swing, surrounded by white sheer curtains. I was quite by myself, the closest people were about 20 chairs away in either direction. I read my book, drank a fruity drink, and just enjoyed the moment. Of course a short snooze was also in order! After lunch at the beach, we headed to the rooms for siestas. Well, not me, I already had napped! We went to one of the larger pools in the afternoon. By this time it was drizzling. I played with Rebecca in the water for a while, then Albert did. They had fun playing ‘shark’ with another little boy. It started raining in ernest, and we started to work on getting Rebecca out of the pool…she was all prune-y and a bit blue from the cold pool! Without the sun things are a little cilly (I know, not as chilly as ontario!)
We had a nice supper, and Rebecca joined in the children’s games in the theatre. She came in second place in a hat game (pass the hat in a circle, you put the hat on, spin around, and pass the hat on. If the music stops while you have the hat, asta la vista baby. She won a piggy bank. That was terribly exciting for her, she wants to go again tomorrow. Tomorrow we are off to the eco park ‘Xcaret’. It’s only supposed to be cloudy not raining…good night!
