Moon Palace Casino Day Eleven

Breakfast at Lucca
There were many people here so the service was a bit slow.  The food selection was not as plentiful as the Marina Grill.  The good part was freshly made waffles, pancakes or french toast.  I asked for guava juice.  They told me to return tomorrow.  Brian went to the sweet shop and found the chocolate covered doughnuts.  Mmm he asked for dos donas de chocolate.


Swimming again
I tried to swim at the 50 m pool.  I did 400 M and gave up.  The pool was so dirty at one end, filled with large bugs and foliage.  I was too creeped out.  I shudder now as I think about it.  Another guy was swimming there and he basically gave up too.  We went to the hammock bar so that I could swim in the nice clean 25 yard pool.  I completed another 1200 yrd and finished a 200 yrd cool down.  I figured that was close enough to be 1 mile.
I didn't tan at all.  I ended up swinging on the hammock.  I loved the swinging and I swung back and forth very hard.  I tried to read my magazines too.  About 30 minutes into the hammock swinging, I felt nauseous.  I realized that I was getting motion sickness from trying to read while swinging back and forth.  I gave up swinging when my stomach basically said, "WTF!  Stop swinging you crazy B!&$#."  No matter how much I enjoyed the swinging, I couldn't prevent myself from heaving.  So I had to stop.  :(  Brian shook his head.  He says I'm like a little kid, making myself sick unnecessarily.

While we were at the Hammock pool, Brian caught a dragonfly and promptly maimed the right wing, very badly.  He said, oops and let it go.  The poor dragonfly slowly limped away and a black bird swooped down and ATE IT!  Brian, is an accessory to the killing.  I was not happy.  Brian says he didn't maim it.  He was only "holding" it by the wing.  Right, so why was the wing totally bent?  He broke it.  Brian says, "Like I tell you, if you don't struggle, it won't hurt as much." Sigh.

Spa
The spa steam room was broken, again.  I went through everything again and enjoyed my 1.5 hours there.  My appointment was at 1.5.  I don't like to call it a treatment because it reminds me of the Doll House.  (Did I fall asleep?)

Dinner
We returned to Spaggo.  I ordered what Bella at the spa recommended.  I tried the Penne and it was great.  The baked Grouper was delicious.  I loved it.  I give the fish a 4 star out of 5.  The salad bar was not as good tonight compared the first night.  Still I found enough to gorge myself on.

Counts
Zero on everything but the spa
