Breakfast
The days just seem to fly by. We ate at the same Marina Grill for breakfast. We went a bit later today, closer to 8 AM. The food was eh, okay this morning. We received great service again. Our juice and coffee cups were constantly refilled. There was a little incident. While trying to get salt out, a black spider crawled on my pinkie. I didn't scream (it was a close call) but I did fling the salt shaker across the table and cringe. I shut my eyes tight while trying hard not to scream and my hand kept flinging as if the spider clung on to me. I had 3 guys come running up to me and going, "Are you okay? What happen? What is it?" I squealed, "spider!" Two of the guys tried to help me stay calm while the other one spied it on the floor and proceeded to stomp on it. Brian came back after the incident. I related my slight freaking out and he said he was amazed I didn't do a bloodcurdling scream. I too was surprised.
After breakfast, we tried the bicycles. Girls were given a prissy pink bike while guys could pick a white or black one. Next time, I'm getting a black one. After riding around a bit, we went to the 50 m pool. Brian laid out while I did laps. I warmed up with 400 m broken up in 50 m stints. I'm so out of shape. Took me between 1 minute to 1:10 to complete a 50 m. After warm up, I did 100 M, 200 M and 100 M. Those were surprisingly easier to finish. My speed increased too. My goal was to complete at least 1/2 a mile. By the end of this trip, I hope to be at 1.5 mile. I also did 200 M in kicking. Crap. That used to be my best. I still completed 50 M around 54 seconds, but I was winded. I cooled down with a bit of breast stroke.
We were going to stay at the pool a bit longer under we realized how many spiders were there. We are talking spiders on every freaking chair lounge. And they were jumping ones. Freaked me out! We went to one of the pools by our room. Biking makes traveling so much quicker.
Lunch
The wind picked up and it was interesting eating lunch at the pool side grill. I ate junk food with nachos, hot dog and fries. Brian had a double cheeseburger. Around noon, Brian said he was done because he felt burn. I checked and realized I probably was too. Off to the Hydrotherapy Spa! The spa was empty again. I did my own thing and enjoyed myself.
I ended up taking a Siesta this afternoon. I passed out for 2 hours. I keep saying, sunbathing is exhausting. Belly Dancing was canceled again!
Dinner
Tao - quasi Japanese food. I think they were trying for Hibachi food. I give it a 2 star out of 5. The food was overcooked and bland. Thank goodness I ordered a side of salmon sashimi. The fried tempura banana was cold and soggy. Gross. I'd go back only to try the Chinese food. We'll see how it goes.
