This was a relaxing-by-the-pool day. Margo fell on her butt in the pool, but luckily she didn't hurt herself. Usually that is something that I would do.
We laid on our rafts and read and got some sun. Well, Margo got a lot. She is sooo brown!
We ate lunch at the outdoor restaurant that is the specialty Steak/Mexican restaurant in the evening. We saw Rex (a very nice man who I met at the Internet Cafe) eating alone because his wife and his wife's sisters went to Chichen Itza for the day. He was going golfing.
When we went to our room to get ready for dinner, our room still was not cleaned at it was already 3:00 p.m. We were told that it's normal because they only clean the rooms that are being checked into in the morning. I never heard of that one before.
Bahia Principe Coba
Margo and I took a taxi to Playa Del Carmen to catch the collectivo to the Bahia Principe Coba to have dinner with Annemarie and Jorge. The taxi driver had a lot of stuffed animals on the dashboard and a plastic gun that was pointing right at us. I certainly didn't like that! Margo was afraid to take the collectivo, but she was glad that I made her. I showed her where all of the resorts were along the way. She had never been that far south before. When we got to the Hacienda, there was a Security Guard and I was certain that he was going to give us a hard time because we didn't have wrist bands. We just pretended to shop a little bit and then when we went back to take the shuttle, we saw Annemarie! Lucky for us.
Jorge gave Margo and I a tour of the three resorts. He took us around on one of the shuttle carts (like a long golf cart). Margo really liked the Bahia Principe properties.
We went back and had a few drinks in the lobby while we waited for our dinner reservations.
Our reservations were at Le Gourmet at 7:30 p.m. I thought it was warm in there, but Margo didn't. We all ordered the Filet, but I ordered mine without the Fois Gras. We had a good dinner and good conversation. Jorge always has the most interesting stories to share. When I told them about the fire that we had at Hewitt, he offered to loan me his tape on how to use a fire extinguisher. I mean, what doesn't he know how to do? LOL
After dinner, Jorge drove us to the highway to make sure that we got a collectivo, but him and Annemarie negotiated a taxi for us to Playa Del Carmen for $4.00 (which was even cheaper). Then, we negotiated with the taxi driver to take us all the way to Secrets Capri for $22.00.
