We were up with the sun (Jaclyn a little bit before actually, so she got to see a beautiful glowing moon over the water)
We both had long showers and wandered down the road in search of a bland, non-filipino breakfast. We stopped at Boodle Fight, an adorable outdoor cafe. I was still really nauseous but was able to eat a few bites of fruit from their fresh fruit plate.
When we got back we asked the hotel to give our room a deep clean while we laid out by the pool. We spent the whole day alternating between spending time in the pool and spending time in our deck chairs. It was perfect. And beautiful. And warm.
We wandered down the street to an Italian cafe for lunch. My nausea got the best of me yet again but at least I was able to eat a few bites. We shared the place with a little girl who was playing her music extremely loudly and burping uncontrollably. Needless to say we didn't make it a leisurely lunch. Mark was feeling pretty good when we got back to the hotel so he decided to rent a kayak and do some exploring.
I stayed near the pool and it couldn't have been better. For dinner we went to our tried and true Dos Quadros Pizza and ordered one for takeaway. We brought it back to our hotel and watched an incredible sunset while eating food we knew wouldn't make us sick (always a plus).
We decided to celebrate the fact that we had been up and out of bed for the whole day and treated ourselves to massages later in the evening. The masseuse Bernadette was a really nice woman, but boy was she chatty. She even insisted that I stay in the hut on the ocean while she gave Mark his massage so that I could "learn some pointers". What did I do instead? Fell asleep on the poor woman. Guess Mark will just have to go back to the Philippines if he wants a good massage.
