Am I sad I missed two, three hour plus long boat trips with my wife and kids? Yes, yes I am, but the carnage I dealt to the bathroom said I made the correct choice to stay in and be within ten steps of the can the whole time. Having to pee off of a moving boat is one thing, but the guttural machinations of my innards are best left away from spectators eyes. It’s not a team sport, and I don’t need cheerleaders. Although on our last day I did get out to swim in the ocean and have an hour long ride with the family. I burned my legs and hands, obviously, but had a good time. Seas were a little rough going but I managed to not get seasick. Lovely! The aquamarine colour was to die for. A big expanse of nearly cloudless sky overhead, and salty sea waves to float in with my children. Next time we will try snorkel masks and breathers and attempt to skulk around a small reef to look at some fish.
I’m glad I had the time to wait for a better opening on the boat trips, so I didn’t have to forgo all of them. I had bought some fresh Twisted Tea, but could drink only one of the twelve. If my guts are in a better mood next visit I can try my hand at one or two more. I wanted a six pack, as that feels more manageable to me. But no glass on the pool deck, so the larger can assortment it was! I should have stuck with the original or just half & half’s, as the raspberry was not to my liking. Live and learn.
I was able to swim a fair bit atleast. Knowing there are clean toilets all throughout the grounds makes it easier to go and do something for an hour without worrying about having to run all the way back to my room to avert a crisis. Ha. I run to my room while it runs down my leg. And what a glorious couple of runners we are. Argh!
It was 16°C here the day we came home but it is now 2-5°C and rainy. Gotta love it. I’ve gone grocery shopping, and answered a few emails, and done a little work today. Off to a good start. Take care out there. Ciao Bella!
