We woke up around 9ish as this is our usual waking time since it’s only around 6ish West Coast time. We got ready quickly to have breakfast as they close at 11am. After breakfast, Maddison had to get ready for her SAT class. This will be her last class for this week and I feel so bad for her that she’s studying while we are on vacation. We stayed at the room a bit with her before heading out.
We went to the Hyatt Zilara for lunch at The Pier which is a buffet style. The food selection was similar to El Mercado but the crowd was so much less and we had a lot more attention from the servers as they kept checking on us and refilling our drinks. It was such a different feeling from the Ziva side as the buffet restaurant was mostly crowded and we usually have to wait a bit before someone comes to take our drink order or we have to flag someone sometimes if they don’t come.
I was planning to try our the Indian restaurant called Journeys for dinner tonight but it was under renovation.
After Maddie finished her classes, Anthony went to lunch with her at El Mercado while we were trying to book a shuttle to the souvenir shop and museum. But unfortunately we booked it too late, so they were full for today, so had to book it for tomorrow afternoon.
It started raining pretty heavily, so we couldn’t do much. Mason still wants to swim in the rain, so he left to go to the beach while the 3 of us got some ice cream and coffee and sat around the lobby to enjoy the nice breeze -and people watching.
About an hour or so later, Madison and I went upstairs to change to go to the gym while Anthony waited for Mason to return as he’s worried about him. Finally, Mason came back to the room right before we returned from the gym and we all got ready to have dinner. There was a long line today at the Templest Table, so while we were waiting, I went to the Rum bar outside the restaurant to order us some drinks. I had the lychee martini which didn’t really have much lychee flavor.
Before long, our pager vibrated to let us know that our table is ready. We checked in with the hostess and she took us to the table. We ordered some sushi rolls and also got some Mongolian grill where we choose the ingredients and the chefs will cook for us on the grill.
We had a good dinner and the kids went back to the room while Anthony and I went to Brandi’s for food as I wanted to bring Anthony there since he didn’t get a chance to go there last night. We didn’t even have to wait today and the food was pretty good and this time, I tried the dessert and it was delicious.
