The Beach

The beach at the resort was beautiful, but there was a problem with erosion. The solution was the following picture. those are not rock or boulders in the water. They are giant sand bags. Most of the beach infront of the hotels along the area had these huge sand bags.
We did take a walk father along the beach where there were no resorts and found this area without the sand bags.
I spend the entire week resting on the beach in front of the resort, either sleeping in the hammock
or on the beach couches. Of course I also did a lot of reading. Finished 2 books during the week.
This is a view of where we spend our days. Quite a comfortable place to relax. We would go to the beach, reserve our chairs/couches, then go to the buffet for breakfast. After eating we returned to the beach to relax. There were waiters that spent their day bringing cool drinks so we didn't have to get up for anything. At lunch time we went to the buffet for lunch and immediately returned to the beach to relax until time to get ready for dinner. Not a bad life really.
Of course Mike's idea of relaxing was either walking up and down the beach, playing beach vollyball, or.....
checking his email at work on his Blackberry. He did manage to relax some and get a little reading done.

Every night we went to a different restaurant at the resort for dinner.
