Our evening activity after a day of lazing about and eating ourselves silly was sunset kayaking. It sounded pretty fun – get into a 2-person kayak and paddle away into the sunset 🙂 We were with a group of Americans that were totally hilarious! We had an absolute blast chatting away, having a glass (or three) of champagne and watching the beautiful colours of the sunset. We were lucky as there were quite a bit of clouds in the sky – perfect for a sunset.

It was one of the most fun activities I’ve ever been on. I just really enjoyed paddling away and getting a (teeny) bit of exercise.. and bobbing in the water.. just having a relaxing but entertaining time. It was picture perfect and the company was fantastic. A simply wonderful activity to round off a wonderful day.

HOOZAH!!!!

Busy taking photos instead of paddling 😉

CHEERS!!

Just gorgeous

After having a shower, we adjourned for some drinks at the hotel’s casual bar.. with some lovely Brie and crackers. It was just perfect, just the 2 of us in a little corner area, chilling out and having a nice chat 🙂 Just unwinding comfortably to round off a great day.

Heh…

ROFL!

After that, we got a bite of dinner at Toucan Tango, a poolside restaurant that’s casual dining and oh-so-chic to be lounging by the pool and nibbling on fries. We arrived at 9pm and the kitchen was closing, but they were nice and squeezed us in anyway, never once hurrying us up to leave. We sat right by the pool and had glorious views of the palm trees fringing the pool as well as the beach and ocean which was a few meters away.

Great food too! Was thoroughly satisfied with the tasty Thai chicken salad and sneaked some of Chris’ Steak sandwich because it looked too good 😉 I’m surprised the food on the island is so good – I’d expected average quality since they do have monopoly (ie. only a few restaurants on the island so you’re kind of restricted to only them). But the cuisine’s fantastic and the ingredients are all really fresh! I envy the chefs that live in such a wonderful place and get to cook for happy holidayers all day long 😉

But of course, the next day was much, much better…………… 😉
