The whole of the deck is a dark wood, plus there's also other day beds with white billowing sheets that blow in the wind and look just great, like you'd find on a Vogue shoot or something. I know for a fact that my pal Tracy would die for this look, her trendy magazine friends would love it, I'm sure.
So our first day consisted of meeting a couple called Mina and Mark, that's Mark next to Morpheus on the other day bed. They were both Canadians and absolute whack jobs. You couldn't help but notice them, especially as she came back from a shopping trip all upset because even though she couldn't understand Spanish, she had been in a store and the two people behind the counter were commenting on her silicone boobs. Me and Morpheus are just looking at each and giggling, so she continues to say that....."they were laughing at my tits, so I walked over to them, told them to fuck off and that they were on jealous because THEY couldn't afford silicone breasts like mine". I'm like pissing myself by this time, she was dead funny.
Obviously she wanted us all to hear, and even glanced over to me and said "don't you think they were jealous"...I',m like..."yeah sure, whatever. So then she proceeds to roll up a joint and offer me a blast. I declined, but later on when she insisted I had a little toke, well, come on, it would of been rude not to. Morpheus just laughed at me and put his head back into his book.
Oh yeah by the way absolutely everybody in the world, EXCEPT for Americans and people who wouldn't understand the Scottish dialect - have to read "Porno" by Irving Welsh, the guy who did "Trainspotting", it's absolutely hysterical and not for the faint of heart, ESPECIALLY if you dislike the C word, but apart from that it's fab, loved it. They should make it into a movie, with all the original cast, Ewen McGregor, Johnny Lee Miller, the nutter Begbie, can't remember his name, but yeah, definitely, let's have a film people. I loved it, couldn't put it down.
So our new friends Mina and Mark suggested that we order the crab roll and the chicken quesadillas for lunch, which we did and yes they were delicious.
I'd like to say that we toured the area, scuba dived, went snorkeling, but we didn't, we stayed by the pool...ALL BLOODY DAY, and it was great.
And yes quite a few Pina Colado's were consumed...delicious, certainly not the time to be dieting, will worry about that in the New Year.
Where did we got tonight, can't remember now, another local restaurant, oh yeah it was Frida's, as in Frida Kahlo, which was shite, empty, bad food, great desserts, great wait staff, but definitely not a good menu. It was my fault I liked the look of the place. Hey it's only food.
We headed back to our hotel lounge where it was kicking in with a local dj spinning his tunes (Francesco we later found out) and also a projector shining funky images onto the side wall of the hotel which gave the whole area a great neon glow with dashes of colours depending on what came on the screen. Very surreal, tres cool!
We sat at the bar and stared around at the locals, mixed in with a few tourists and friends of the bar staff. Everyone looks really happy, why wouldn't they, they're in a beautiful hotel, good music, great margaritas and warm weather.....FANTASTIC!!
Oh yeah I almost forgot the hotel plays ambient music all day which is also piped through to each room, so you can futz about while your getting ready by boogieng to the music, it's great, love that idea. There's a volume control as well for when you've had enough or want to sleep WITHOUT noise, which makes it kind of difficult for us cos we're on the corner suite overlooking the street which is massively noisy at ALL TIMES.....bit of noise never harmed anyone, yeah right, I won't be singing that tune in a few days.
