We had slept with the curtains open, as our room faced east, and as the sun rose Shivani woke up to take some pictures. It was cloudy on the horizon however so there wasn't much of a sunrise to see. I watched from the bed and after Shivani came we closed the curtains and went back to sleep.
We woke up again fairly early and decided to get up and go for some breakfast. After another hearty good breakfast we came down and sat on our cabana. We decided we should finalise the rest of the trip and spent the morning sending emails and looking at Amazon trips. A couple of companies got back to us really fast so we pursued them an eventually booked a 3 night tour and a tree climbing experience.
That done we went into the sea but found it pretty rough and didn't stay to long. We were hungry too so ordered some lunch. We got a tropical salad and some mixed fried potatoes, cassava and sweet potato. Those were really good although the cocktails we ordered weren't.
One of the girls came over to check it wad all okay after they heard about our experience last night. She also wanted us to preorder for tonight and asked Shivani what she wanted. We would try to get the cataplanas again and were assured it would be right this time. We lazied around a bit longer till the time came for our complementary foot treatment.
We went over to the spa and although we thought we had booked something they weren't ready for us. We had to wait a bit and I took a steam while Shivani read a travel magazine and decided where we should go on our next trip. After a short wait they were ready for us and we got a salt bath and a little rub. It was quite nice and left our feet tingling. After treatment we relaxed a few minutes before heading to the room.
I had a quick dip in our pool and then we both showered up. As we had lunch today we weren't as hungry so watched a little tv and I also researched the flight and hotel in Rio. This was the last thing we needed to book on our trip and after it was done we could just enjoy the last 10 days. I tried to book the flight and found the price had gone up and that I couldn't book it. I was annoyed but would get the reception to help tomorrow.
We then decided to go for our drink and dinner. We went up to the bar where the moon was still full but the night was cloudier. We had a couple of cocktails before heading for the restaurant. The staff were ready for us tonight, we got good service and the food came out as it should. They also gave us a decent portion and we were both stuffed and unable to finish.
It was late now and the big meal made us tired so we headed to bed. I put the dvd on to finish watching it and Shivani fell asleep. There wasn't much left of it and I finished it fairly quickly and then went to sleep as well.
