This will Never get Old!







 I woke about 5:30 this morning and it was already light outside.  I dozed off and on watching the sky change and listening to the water.  

I crawled out of bed around 8 and went to see about breakfast. This restaurant is set up a lot like the IHG with similar selections.  After breakfast, I intended to change and go to the pool or beach.  Once I got back here though, that water called to me and I just cannot bring myself to leave. 

So, I donned snorkeling gear and took my charged underwater camera and got in.  The water is refreshing but not cold.  It’s a whole other world beneath the surface.  Beautiful, colorful fish and healthy coral. It was magnificent.   What I became aware of fairly quickly is how much my endurance decreased in the past few years.  Yet another reminder things have to change when I get home if I want to keep enjoying snorkeling in the future.   The current here is fairly strong and I was winded after about 30 minutes.  It’s about noon now and I will get back in for another swim today.  

I don’t know if I’ll be able to upload the pictures from the camera.  My tablet doesn’t have a port.  Hopefully they have a computer on the ship where I can do this.  Time will tell!!!

I did go to the pool. It’s very basic (IHG has this beat by a mile). But this place has an actual beach with coral close to the shore.  There are palapas and chairs.  

Decided to have lunch with a view!

 

After lunch, I decided to go back to my room.  Shortly after that, I started feeling nauseous and definitely regretted eating that burger.  I felt I’ll for the remainder of the day, but still spent hours on my deck.

 

Sweet dreams !!
