Today was a perfect day, not only weather wise, but in the way that Karen, Jonathan, Barry and I chose to spend it. We got off the ship at 10 a.m. and hopped in a cab for the 7 minute ride to the Intercontinental Hotel, where we had arranged for a day pass to use the pool, and beach and have lunch. The setting was beautiful, and there was virtually no one there, so we snagged 4 lounges beach side, and plunged into the turquoise waters. Heaven! We spent the day lounging, swimming, and kayaking. The hotel is built at the base of the mountains which rise at a steep slope, and have thatched cottages on stilts up on the mountain, overlooking the sea. Other over water bungalows are also available. The resort is very large and Barry and I walked around to the dolphin centre, which was closed to the "swimming with dolphin" activity, but we watched them swoop around the bay, and nearly jump out on the dock when their trainer came to feed them. The resort also has a turtle care centre, but it was so hot and humid being in the sun, we chose to go back and swim again.
We had a delicious lunch at the beach bar. Let the pictures speak for themselves. We had yet another easy sail away party, and dinner in the Lido, where we heard about Linda and Garry's 4x4 adventure up into the mountains.
