I can’t say that I had a bad night’s sleep, as that would mean I actually got some. Anyway, I got up eventually at 10am having got some minutes post-dawn.
Rebecca, Tom and the boys were of course already up and down by the pool at that point and we joined them with our breakfast from Tuk Tuk, the market thing in the hotel. Different hotel, but the same breakfast choices were made. Granola/Parfaits etc.
It was very hot today.
I was a bit unsettled as there was no firm plan for today, a scenario in which I do not thrive. There had been talk of heading to a park in the afternoon, but with our late start, after a chat, we decided to remain by the pool until our meal this evening. With that sorted, I went back up to the room to change into my swimming gear and I multi-tasked, taking Dougie with me in his stroller in the hope he would fall asleep for his nap.
On my return, there was swimming and resting for all.
With our late arrival, shade was tricky to find and Mum retreated over there to snap up a spare bed and umbrella.
Mid-afternoon Rebecca and Tom took the boys back to the room for a break from the heat. They had plans to head over to City Walk but never made it. Instead, we met them at around 4.30 by the water taxi as were headed out to Antojitos for our evening meal.
We sat briefly in reception…
Before being seated.
As we arrived at the table a huge bowl and chips and salsa was deposited and we started to eat too many of those.
For the appetisers we ordered, can you guess? Yes, Nachos and the handmade Guacamole that is created at your table. You get asked how you’d like it and what you may want extra or less of. We guessed at some things and ended up with a bowl of tasty green stuff.
The Nachos were awesome.
Mum had Beef Burrito
I had a Tostada, right there in public.
Tom had Quesedillas
Louise had Steak Fajitas
Freddie whatever this is….
Rebecca a Chicken Burrito
If you think that food looked fab, it was. One of the best meals of our trip and we will return for sure. It was $225 including an already added 18% tip.
After eating we strolled over to Studios as Freddie wanted to ride Mummy to show he wasn’t scared of it anymore.
Once we got into the park I volunteered to stay off with Dougie and my overly full belly. Mum sat out too.
Next, we rode Fallon minus Mum and Dougie.
With Freddie in charge of the plans, we rode Mummy again next and I could not avoid it this time.
I did draw the line at Rip Ride Rockit though and just Rebecca and Tom did that one. We waited on a bench here.
I am almost ashamed to admit that sweet snacks were had. Well, we did not have dessert in the restaurant I suppose. Some of us had pineapple and some a Mango Ice push-up.
Louise sat with a sleeping Dougie whilst the rest of us walked over to ride The Simpsons. Freddie enjoyed that one and by the time we exited it was going dark.
With the it now being a few minutes before park close we walked briskly over to ET to squeeze that in.
It is of course very dated now and I’m not sure what five-year-old Freddie made of it all.
We walked back to Louise and Dougie and slowly made our way over to the water taxi. It was a fifteen-minute wait for one to fit us on and get us back to the hotel. Louise and I went to the Sushi Bar place fo a couple of drinks and I tried a couple of cocktails.
No idea what that one was…
But this Espresso Martini was delicious
We grabbed some waters from Tuk Tuk and were in bed by 12.
Till the next time…..
