Woke up quite early and went down for breakfast at about 8:30am so we didn’t have to rush to see the rep at 10am.
Breakfast was as I imagined, omelette station, cereals, pastries, cheese and meats etc. one coffee machine for the whole hotel was a bit of a mistake as people were queuing. Also on normal 2 slice toaster for the whole place, come on. I can’t cook a full English for two people without getting a backlog at the toaster so that was never gonna be enough.
Had an omelette and then coffee with some pastries (they are gonna be my downfall I know it lol).
After breakfast we went to see Mo who talked us through all his trips and offered aim cards but I opted for the dongle so I could keep my number etc and use the WiFi anywhere. Recommend this as you get 30GB FOR £20 (I put this in first days blog as I was typing it a day later). The free public WiFi in bar areas is really slow and drops constantly so I’m happy to pay it and just log on every so often to check emails etc.
We booked some trips. We both booked a day of activities which includes snorkelling, scuba diving, parasailing, water inflatables on back of a boat and something else I can’t remember. Eddie booked Friday on some island but that sounds like a lot of lying in the sun which I’m not good at so I booked a dive instead.
Did some sunbathing for a few hours and I booked a massage with Hiba the lady round the pool. Well in fact I got two for the price of one so had one after lunch and another booked for Saturday.
Oh I lost my reading sunglasses so now have to squint to see my phone and can barely type my blog properly.
Lunch was much of a muchness, so went for salad and bits n bobs then some cake and coffee.
After lunch we did some more sunbathing .i decided to do some swimming to burn off some of the food. The back pool is quieter and It’s a lovely pool you can swim round the whole thing under bridges at certain points and it’s all the same height all the way round so you can stand up all over. When I say it was cold it was like open water cold water swimming. I was the only one in it and someone asked me half way round if it was cold. I said ‘I’m not gonna lie and say it’s okay once yer in cos it’s ice cold, but once you a numb from the neck down it’s not bad lol’. Anyway, I did two full circuits before my toes were cramping up with the cold soon got out to thaw for a bit.
Had my first massage at 4pm, he asked if I waned soft, medium or hard. I said soft/medium but I don't think it mattered cos he probably just did what he usually does lol. The bit that I hate is when they mess with your feet, that bit hurts, so Im gonna tell hin not to do muy feet on the 2nd one on Saturday. The fitness centre looked quite good so going to go there tomorrow.
Went back to the room for a siesta and then guess what, time to eat again. Had veg, salad and salmon (full of bones). They had whole crabs on the bbq bit but they were small and I struggled to find any meat. Look great on a pic (I didn’t take one) but most to eat on it. Oh and then you guessed it filled up on cake lol.
Sat in the bar for a bit after dinner and they were getting ready for some daft audience participation type competition game on stage so we made a sharp exit to bed.
I’m hoping someone handed my reading shades in when I check at reception tmrw. Fingers crossed.
Will add pics when I get home cos WiFi is too slow.
G’night
