Love my puns.
Okay I left you on a cliff hanger but yes, Douggie did win the ping pong comp...thank god.
After his 15 victory laps we went to the fancy restraunt for dinner where we I had crab cakes, mushroom ravioli and lamb - was super tasty.
Tuesday Morning Douggie got up early for his dive and I just bummed around the pool until he came back. Once he was back we spent the afternoon on the beach and beating every staff member at Ping Ping! We went to Lychee, the asian restraunt, for dinner. Sushi and teriyaki steak were great and we had a yummo chocolate rice pudding for dessert.
On Wednesday morning I conquered my fears and signed up for the 8am Introductory Dive Class. 2hrs of theory and pool practice later and we set out on a dive boat. We were only able to go 12mtrs deep but believe me that was enough. I had a few ear problems so it took me quite a while to get down that far but once I did I loved it. I was only down there for around 20mins but saw some beautiful coral and a few Lionfish (Dougs new fave fish). After that I was exhausted so just bummed around on the beach. We went to the fancy restaurant again for dinner however sat on the communal table. The roof over the table is domed which creates an echo effect which was kind of cool. Given I'd seen one earlier I had the lion fish for dinner.
After dinner was casino night, which we played for funny money (later used to bid on items in an auction). Turns out I'm whizz at Crapps. I won a fair amount of money ($400 million to be exact) and still have no idea how to play. Doug lost all his money on black jack. Later was the auction, some very shit items bht we managed to win ourselves an "official" Jamaican Olympic Tshirt.
Thursday was horse riding day. We were picked up at 9.30 and rode in the bush for an hr before taking the ponies for a swim! We didn't get back to the hotel until 2 which is when it started raining. We had a quick lunch and a nap and were out by 6 for pre dinner drinks. Well.... someone hit the drinks a little hard. Doug managed to drag me to dinner at lychee but afterwards we ended up doing shots. As Doug could see I was getting a little too excited and the"club night " didn't start until 10 be took me to the room to watch tv and sober up.... hoping I would fall asleep. It didn't work as intended and we were ripping up the dance floor in no time.
This morning i woke up a little worse for wear but was dragged to Sailing with Doug. It did make me feel better if I'm being honest. We then grabbed lounges and floated in the ocean for a few hrs until I decided I wanted to try waterskiing...for the first time in 10 years. I got up straight away but only lasted maybe 10 minutes out there. It's exhausting! I'm trying to convince Doug to give it a try tomorrow.
We just had our complimentary photography session which someone grumbled all through. Off to dinner soon for Lobster night yum yum then Kareoke later on!
We leave on Sunday so only 1 full day left :(
