Woke up at 7:30 AM again. Breakfast at the same Marina Grill. This morning, the food was a bit different. I liked the egg white ham and cheese omelet. The lox were delicious. Of course, the one day they have it, no capers! Sigh. Still, the service was good. They came back over and over again to offer juice and coffee refills. Watermelon juice today! It is good to be up early and have the restaurant to ourselves. We were done with breakfast in record time and headed to our first pool of the day.
Lagoon Pool
This surrounds Samba. Not sure what Einstein thought it was good to surround a restaurant. Let me give you a hint. One of the sides has the garbage . . . and with my Wolverine nose, it wasn't pleasant. The lazy river was very cold when we first entered with our floaties. With the sun beating down on us, it felt good. We went around five times. Then it was off to the Hydrotherapy Spa again!
Hydrotherapy Spa
Today, the spa routine was a bit different. The ice room was swapped with the mud room. This actually made more sense. Regardless, I still thought of girls wrestling when I put the mud on. This time, I thought of naked girls wrestling. Odd how the mind just wanders.
Lunch
We ate at Soda for lunch. It was supposed to be Sushi. I give it a 2 1/2 star out of 5. Brian said it didn't deserve a 1 because the food wasn't spoiled. The sushi rolls were in a cube shape. The Dragon and Rainbow rolls were odd. Nothing I've ever had before; of course I have been spoiled with great sushi in Houston. Then we went to the pizza place for take out. There was no take out option, but Brian has learned from the master. He asked what it would take for him to order a pizza to go. Daniel, the host, hemmed and hawwed and then caved so quickly. Brian got his pizza to go. The Napoleon? All I know is that the anchovies were super salty. I thought about the kitties and how much they would like it. I ate a couple slices and could feel my body scream out for water to balance the salt intake.
Afternoon Pool
We spent the afternoon at two different pools. Brian liked Ramon's drinks so we headed back to the Hammock pool. Brian's Margarita was pretty much just all Don Julio Tequila. I had 3 White Russians. We headed on to a pool right by our room. It was deserted, just like every pool we've been to so far. I fell asleep. Sunbathing is exhausting, I guess.
Belly Dancing!
Right, so no belly dancing tonight. I went to the class at 6 only to find no instructor. I'll try again tomorrow. I'm starting to think that they have no classes. I guess I could always just use the exercise equipment. We have recording the gym on our to do list.
Dinner
Mexican restaurant tonight. I give it a 3 star. The presentation was good. The nachos were good. The baby shark turnover was a disappointment. Of the 3 turnovers, only one of them had what they said was shark. It wasn't any shark that I've ever had. The Gringas was dry. Brian's chicken was okay. He liked the taco. I had a Caipirina. I'm not sure what is in it, but it was tasty. Hit me gradually.
