Awake at 3.30, which was nice. Dozed and doomscrolled till 6ish. Showers and got ready.
Once 7am hit we were first in line for the market cafe for buffet. It had a seriously vast array of choices.
Just the one plate as my body is a temple.
We walked down to the beach passed some shy fish…well they weren’t shy just coy.
The beach was pretty much empty at this early hour so we easily got beds but to be honest that would be the case all holiday regardless of time, on the beach at least.
We just relaxed and half slept for a while, with some reading thrown in.
At 11am and 4pm every day the staff organised a volleyball game that I did not take part in once. We watched it though and over the days it would get ever more competitive.
That cloud makes it look like I have a white tuft of hair. If only.
At some point we went for swim and got a drink from the swim up bar. A margarita for Louise and I had an Iceberg which involved beer and some form of alcohol slush.
Back to the beach. More doing nothing.
We had noticed immediately that there was a seaweed issue. Mainly as the hotel had a team of workers, a JCB and two trucks carting it away. It’s a seasonal thing and couldn’t be helped but at least our resort was shifting it. Others up the beach not so much.
We had a small pizza from the pizza oven between us around 13.30. It was lovely.
More volleyball watching at 4.
We were both tired today with the travel and jet lag so we didn’t do a lot. That didn’t change over the holiday so maybe those were just excuses today.
We went back to the room for showers around 5pm and a lie down which was different to lying down in the beach of course.
Out at 7. I stopped at reception to change some larger dollar bills into smaller ones for tipping.
We ate at the Italian, Portifino.
Espresso Martini for me and wine for Louise.
We started with the first two items on the menu which were a Caprese and a meat thing.
Parm chicken for me and lasagne for Louise.
We were full but shared a tiramisu.
We paid the bill….oh no, there was no need but we left a tip. We made it back to the lobby bar for one drink before having to give up at 10. Knackered.
Till the next time…….
