Secrets Capri - Day 2

We got up bright and early and even got a picture of the sun coming up. Then, my new camera fizzled out on me. The screen was all blurry and I couldn't figure out why. Then, I asked a man in the lobby if he knew anything about digital cameras, and coincidentally, his son had the same camera. I turned it on to show him, and it was suddenly working again. I'll have to keep an eye on it because it shouldn't do that. Our eyeglasses steamed up when we came outside, but that should not make the camera stop working.

Breakfast
They are supposed to have a specialty restaurant open for breakfast, but they don't. They only had the buffet and it wasn't anything spectacular. Of course, I was happy with my croissants and Nutella.

Playa Del Carmen
Margo and I went to Playa early to avoid the heat, but everything opened much later than when I was here there in April because it's off season. I showed her where I stayed and many of the resorts and restaurants in town. We shopped and I bought the cutest skirt ever! Paulo from Jungla Caribe is still on vacation in Italy, but Matias from Hotel Eclipse was there and we stopped in to say "hello." One of the Mayan Palace reps from Hoffman Estates recognized me as I was walking down 5th Avenue. They are building so much more. Hope they don't turn it into a Cancun! We had a field day in Wal-Mart. Margo bought her kid's some souvenirs and I bought my Granola Bars. Guess where we went to lunch?.....La Cueva del Chango! We had a very nice view, if you catch my drift! Margo loved it there. You just can't beat the atmosphere, fresh food and service. Barbara, I picked up some Real Estate books for you and I will bring them with me next week.

Dinner
We went to dinner at Portofino's, the Italian restaurant. The decor was very nice and service was very good, but the portions were small. It was more than filling as you have different courses.
