I dragged myself out of bed so that we could eat at the Marina Grill before the rest of the Sheeple stampeded in. To my surprise, there was a great fruit selection this morning. I enjoyed my lox and fruit platter. Guava, mango and passion fruit . . . mmmm. I happily devoured it while Brian's plate of greasy food made him happy.
Beach Day!
We spent the morning at the beach. The waves were not so strong but the undertow was a bit much. Brian decided he didn't want to go out to the ocean due to his injured leg and the possibility of re-injury. I went in and promptly lost the bottom to my bikini. I had to quickly grab it before it completely ripped off my body. Oops. When I return, I'll have to wear my swim suit and my swim shirt. I'll be wearing my swim goggles too. The water was so warm. Loved it. I spent some time building my sand castle and realized, it's more fun in concept than in reality.
After a few hours at the bench, we headed to the pool. Due to the very sunny day, I elected to go into the pool and cool off. The water was freezing still. I no likey. I exited the pool quickly. Tomorrow, I'm determined to try and swim at the 50 M pool again. We'll see if that really happens because the water will probably still be rather cold. Sonia, Brian's favourite waitress, brought us drinks. The first Caipirina was good. The second one, I don't know what happened. I fell ill. It was terrible. I couldn't even stand. Brian had to help me up the 3 flights of stairs. Who freaking asked for a high floor?!? I made it to the bed and passed out. I woke up 5 minutes after 1 PM and quickly went to dial into my conference call. It was an All Hands GlobalView meeting. After about 5 minutes of frustration with the toll free number, I was instructed that I could only dial US numbers for free. Fortunately, I had a toll number to use and hopefully there was no charge. I caught part of the big boss's message and listened to the rest. Unfortunately, the Livemeeting link didn't work. Boo.
The weather was still very good out after my line cut off. I sat on our balcony and enjoyed the breeze. I had a bit too much sun this morning. I burned the back of my thighs. I don't know what happen but I guess I was so relaxed I fell asleep in the chair on the balcony. I was a bit late to my Hydrotherapy spa treatment today. The spa was a bit of a wreak. The steam room and the whirlpool were both broken. I still enjoyed my time and met a nice lady from New York - Bella. Loved her name. She is a club member and gave me the load down on her benefits. Pretty nifty but still not for me.
Dinner
We returned to Lucca for Oriental night. OMG! What the hell was I thinking not going here last week? Why did I go to the Mexican place? The roast duck was soooo good. I ate 1/2 a duck by myself. They had fresh salmon and tuna sashimi. MMMMMMMMM Since we went early at 6 PM, I was the first to pick the slices I wanted. They also had stone crab claws too. Those were okay. Would have been better if there was garlic butter or cocktail sauce. Brian loved the egg flan. I ate the two decorative mango slices. This is my favourite restaurant and night at the resort. I wish they had it more often. I give the restaurant a 4.5 star out of 5. The music was also excellent. I enjoyed it and wished I had the play list. The hostess said she'd try to find it out. I'd really like a copy of it.
