And Another Day in Paradise

Sunrise view of the Bungalows

Today we had breakfast in our room (fruit, croissant, coffee, quiche) to start the day.  Shortly afterwards, Joanie went for a walk and I did some reading on our deck.  The rest of the day was spent like a typical day in paradise – not doing much at all.  The sheer beauty and tranquility of this location seems intoxicating – as though you can sit here looking at the view – being a part of this world – and never get bored.  It’s as though (seriously) there is no time.  It’s so perfect in many ways, that just being here feels all your needs and desires.  I don’t think I’d want to spend the rest of my life here; but it truly is a very magic place.

Our Outrigger for the Afternoon

Later in the afternoon we snapped out of our time warp and borrowed the resort’s outrigger canoe and paddled around the entire lagoon.  We went out to a yellow post that was very near where the ocean’s waves were hitting the outer reef, then turned to our left and headed to a beach.  We then went to another beach for lunch (which we had packed), and then finally returned back to the resort.  It was a lot of fun being out on the lagoon, but the outrigger wasn’t very stable, so we didn’t feel like we could go snorkeling out in the middle of the lagoon.  But the water is so clear, being above the water is a very close send to being in the water.

Then we spend some more time back at our bungalow, back on our deck, snorkeling in the lagoon – just living this live.  Around sunset we went and had dinner at the resort’s restaurant – Joanie once again had the chicken Caesar salad, and tonight I had their sirloin steak with pepper sauce – all very good.  We finished off dinner this evening with crème brulee – which was very good.

All in all, just another day in paradise.  It’s a very, very relaxed life here and we’re enjoying that lifestyle while we can.

(A lot of our photos today were taken with our underwater camera which has film that needs to be developed.  So we just posted some random photos today.)
