While we were there we even took an afternoon trip to a nearby shopping mall . There he bought me a nice watch and a comfortable pair of sandals for himself. We had lunch at the food court at the mall and my husband was really impressed with a very tasty squid dish that he got there from a very ordinary looking booth. It was a bit of a culture shock to go so quickly back and forth from our tropical resort paradise to an urban mall with only a short taxi ride in between.

Back at the resort there were all sorts of water sports available. They had tour boats, kayaks, pedal boats, jet-skies, tubing and snorkeling. Our greatest regret was that we were not able to take advantage of any of the water sports because we did not want to take the risk of having my hubby’s infection return. He has promised me that we will take advantage of them all when we celebrate our second honeymoon. Nevertheless, it was a wonderful place and a wonderful time and it all passed by too quickly.
