Day 29 ~~ Friday March 7
"All is Perfect in Isladise!"
This is what the sky looks like at 5:37am….
"All is Perfect in Isladise!"
This is what the sky looks like at 5:37am….
And again at 5:47am...
I don't know how I'm going to adjust to the new time zone change….I hate sleeping in on holiday because I just don't want to waste a second! Now my day will be starting an hour later….half the day is gone!! :)
Caribbean Casa has a big basket of sea glass, and during my 'alone-time' on the balcony, I would make different designs and things. I should have had this at the beginning of my report, but here it is…works for the end too I guess!
We are off bright and early to Playa Norte and plant ourselves in full sun right at the water's edge. Gotta soak up as many rays as possible today!
Even after 13 years of Isla holidays, this view never gets old….
"Did you have a good holiday darling?" "Oh yes!"
We sizzled and snoozed the hours away….and then got rudely interrupted when a loud group of at least 10 people decided to plant all their chairs in a large circle right next to us and have a gab fest. Oh well, there are other beaches on Isla! We need to find our zen place for just a while longer. Off to the 'Posada beach', which has a nice view too!
And there's tons of room to spread out and have your own little 'zen' spot...
We linger as long as we can, enjoying siestas and splashes. Hop on the scooter and make our way to the Artist's Fair. It's usually on Thursdays but was rescheduled due to the downpour yesterday.
I buy numerous trinkets, scarves, bracelets and a necklace pendant. Lots of goodies to choose from! Nothing like last minute shopping!
And then it's time….time for the last sunset of Isla '14. And it's a beauty….
Too soon, it dips below the horizon, gone from our view for another 340 days or so….
It is our tradition to enjoy our last dinner at Olivia's, one of our very favourite restaurants. We are happy to have Darcy and Barry join us...
The food is delicious as always….
Looking forward to enjoying more great meals at Olivia's…we already have 2 reservations made!
We've been invited to see friends at their penthouse at Ixchel. On the way, we run into a friendly group of hungry kitties at the end of Hidalgo..
Darcy had some yummy leftovers and happily shares it with the gatos. They were very happy for such a delicious treat!
We make our way to the penthouse….great party place under the stars...
Gorgeous view at night…..must be spectacular during the day….
These stairs and alcohol do not mix well!….
Part time bartender! Don't quit your day job!
It was great to have time together with friends, but we still have a lot to pack up, so we make our way home and get the deeds done. One last kaluha with ice on the balcony, enjoying the soothing sound of the waves and the twinkling stars….
Tomorrow…..sunrise and zoom zoom….. :)
