I woke up, for the 20th time tonight, early. Early because my watch said 830am but the clock on the wall said 630am. The time difference makes it early. Don’t care. I’m up.
I got up and found a robe. The place had kimonos for us to wear. The alternative is I walk around naked. Then Bob would not feel like a real man. I could not live with that. So I wore a robe.
I managed to get the coffee maker going. That’s an important job. At least to me. Then I went off to have a shower. The shower was semi lame. The shower head is so high up the wall it kinda has a light spray by the time it reaches me. Cools it off too. Not good.
I am clean and refreshed. And I have my kimono robe to wear. I am lookin good!
While I was in the shower someone else made breakfast. Eggs with cheese and mushrooms. Quite nice. I fried up some chorizo to go along with mine. Much better. I think.
We need to figure out what the hell we are doing today. Or we will miss out on something. There are quite a few things to do but we have to do them.
So decision made, we are walking down the beach a mile or so to some outdoor shopping place that sells at full retail. Sounds fun. But not for me. I went along. The walk is nice, and the beach is beautiful. The people, not so much.
So we shopped for a few hours. I bought nothing. Which is what I do. Everyone else found something they could not live without. Whatever.
Next stop lunch. After a couple false starts someone decided we should go back the the room for salad and shrimp. That sounds great.
On the way back to the hote we stopped at a kiosk which brokers activities in the area. We had been discussing, all day, things we could do. One idea was a sunset cruise. They have dinner cruises with all you can drink cocktails. We decided on one. 320$. But, if two of us went to a time share presentation they would cut the price to $160. So I volunteered to fall on my sword. The presentation is Friday morning.
So we did finally go back for lunch. And, strangely, it was very good and easily better than going out. And a hell of a lot cheaper.
After lunch, another round of mai Tais. We decided to go down to the pool. We soaked in the poll for an hour or more. Had another mai tai. I had to watch the clock, our dinner cruise is tonight. I have to be at the boat by 3 to check in. It sails at 330. I made the boat on time. There were quite a few passengers there already. I got checked in quickly. And, I called the other fools to get them moving to the boat. They are quite slow.
They finally showed, last ones to arrive. Nice. Bob seems to be under the impression it’s no big deal. The crew was ready to shove off without them.
So we got onboard the catamaran and got underway under engine power. There is really no wind to drive the sails. The sailing was very smooth. We got quite a few pictures of whales spouting and breaching. That was amazing. The weather is perfect so our cruise is very nice. The bar is open so we had more Mai Tais. I make much better ones than they do. We sailed around for quite awhile. Till dinner, which was good though not great. But at $40 per person with open bar and dinner, it was a bargain.
The coolest part of the trip was the whales breaching and spouting. Not something you see every day. Unless we are talking about today. Then we see it.
After we got off the boat we went for a walk. Back to the hotel. Had more wine. Cocktails and went to bed. Peace out.
How wonderful!! 🐳 Whales!! ❤️
