Tuesday we were up early, packed and down for our last buffet breakfast 😦  We checked out at 11, but our bus wasn’t due until 2pm.  We took a long stroll down the amazing beach, sucking back the ocean smell and letting the sand squish between our toes.  We walked all the way up to…

Monday March 24th, we headed in to town for a little bit of shopping.  It was so hot , and we didn’t last too long before we had to find some relief at the pool.  Our first stop in town was at the grocery store for some cold drinks.  Then we ambled around, bought some souvenirs – t-shirts for…

Another gorgeous day!  Frank and Danica rented surf boards for the day and Delaney and I hung our poolside and soaked up the sun.  Frank and Dani soaked up so much they were burnt to a crisp out on the ocean- ouch! Frank who usually doesn’t burn couldn’t even move after the heat of the…

Saturday was another gorgeous hot day.  We had a chill morning, followed by a 3pm ATV ride to Playa Cochelles.  That was our favourite adventure so far- but so dusty! We got to ride tandem on the ATV’s- me and Danica and Frank and Delaney. The ride started off on the main roads, which scared…

Wednesday March 19th. Once again we woke up to a fog hiding the volcano – pretty strange that there is a huge volcano in front of you that you can’t see! Up to breakfast we headed as our ride was picking us up at 9:40am- we were headed to the zip lines!!!  Frank was very nervous…
