CUBA - Day 13 - Cuban Restaurant

Tonight I let Iona add my hibiscus to my hair! We tried a close up in the elevator - goofy! Talk about the sunset but it didnt really show up as seen! But we've never seen Mares lobby from the opposite side of the pool before either. Supper was nice and glad we were able to enjoy it.  Entertainment tonight is very loud Karaoke - good night!











Tropical seafood cocktail 

Colonial seafood stew 

Pina colada mousse with pineapple tartar.

CUBA - Day 13 - Guardalavaca and Beach

It was a lovely last last visit to Guardalavaca with the girls on the train and the back on the double decker bus - my first ride! Some last minute purchases along with a bit of excitement of gaining on a horse drawn taxi, an oncoming double decker and two horses out loose grazing too near the road! Once back our Sunwing Rep was able to refund the overbooked catamaran excursion for me and we also got a 4 pm extension for checkout free too! Then getting back to the room I was very impressed with my surprise. And another ocean swim even if the waves tried to swamp me before getting ready for our last fancy supper.



There's a light coloured horse in the glass reflection left of the brown horse.

Where are all the people?
It's so quiet!

I played with the pictures Iona took.


LOVE this the bestest!

CUBA - Day 12 - Relaxing

Well Tuesday, Day 11, was a gonner for Donna and I that was for sure. Wednesday, Day 12, I woke feeling better and Donna so-so - breakfast was a banana and mint tea while entertained by the band. Iona got her day on the beach! After a brief lunch I was again entertained by the band while relaxing. We had our third fancy dinner at the Italian Restaurant but none of us were up to it. Donna and I had bits n pieces of ours but Iona told them to skip her entre totally. She finished off with her dessert. Then back to the room to read and an early night again. No entertainment at all for us! Still iffy!


This was at Snack Bar at breakie.

This was in Mares lobby.

No birds here!

Huge anti pasta buffet for your choosing.

My baked fish - I scraped off the topping and ate the fish and potato. 

Iona and Donna's stuffed cannoli. 

My Bomboini with chocolate sauce and ice cream. 

Awesome!

CUBA - Day 10 - Relaxing!

Yes a very nice quiet day! But by evening Donna and I were dealing with upset stomachs!


Iona's lace decal and lovely ring bought here. 


Now Donna's all glammed up!

Monkey pod opened up.  Reminds me of those shakers.

I love this picture, thank you Iona!

CUBA - Day 9 - Dolphins Show and Young Ones
