up around six this morning… did some beachcombing with the middle grandson and my daughter… 

I provided the bag and they found the shells, lol… many were thrown back because we have a strict rule about not keeping broken ones… 

the waves were beautiful and some crashed like thunder…

daughter found a very nice cowrie which we decided meant she won the day… 

also had to pick up a few rocks for the collection, lol…

met up with the rest of the family for breakfast and then three of us walked to Starbucks stopping along the way to check out the shops and plant life…

found vanilla, hot chocolate mix and a few other goodies… apparently chocolate shops, which we have been watching for, are few and far between here… 

once we got back to the hotel we went to the pool where the rest of the group were, and the kids spent the remainder of the day there… I had a nap and also some pool time… 

it gets dark here quite early – around 6 – and we’ve been enjoying the sunsets, which have been stunning…

heading out for a steak dinner shortly…

another wonderful day in paradise…
