Our last full day

We woke up knowing it was the last full day and wanted to soak it all in.
We both did not sleep well because we heard a weird sound throughout the night. In the morning we realized it was the stupid toads! There was also a bird hiding somewhere in our room that was tweeting very loudly 😂
We did our normal morning routine. Breakfast I had the most amazing passion fruit juice I’ve ever had. It was still drizzling so we had breakfast inside, while watching the toads try to get out of the ponds.
When we went back to our room we saw there were two toads in the small pond by our outside shower. The ones that kept us awake! After we put the swim suits on and we’re beach pool bums for most of the day. Slurping the last of the tropical drinks, and attempting to work on our tans. We were in lazy lazy mode! we had a nice game of ping pong were Erik quickly learned I’m not super uncoordinated 🥸 but he is definitely better.
Day turned into night and it was teppanyaki time!! This has to be one of my favorite experiences on our trip. On the way there I kicked another toad 😫. We were joined by three other couples. Paul and Celia from a small town in Australia, our buds from the night before Marissa and Kevin, and Maria and David from Costa Mesa, California. Ana who was my favorite staff at the resort and the sassiest took care of us throughout the experience. Our chefs name was Alyce and she was brilliant and man she knew her business cooking.
This 4 hour experience was impeccable. It was filled with laughter, wine, sashimi, sushi, lobster, games, fried rice, a cat that lived by the island to pick up anything that fell on the ground, and most important so much love and memories. I enjoyed listening to other people’s life stories and magic that their relationships held. When we wrapped up the experience we heard there was a hermit crab race 😂 I insisted that we went.
The hermit crab race were 10 hermit crabs basically racing. You place bets on a crab that we’re all given a famous persons name from another country. These were crabs that guest had caught and named earlier in the day. Erik placed a bet on the crab that someone caught from Canada and I placed a bet on the crab someone caught from China (that got second place 🥰). The whole thing sounds silly which it was but it was so much fun and it was time for bed.Read more
