Sunday March 26th - Massage, rays and sharks

 We started our day with a full body massage at the resort spa. That led to a debate between Jacqui and I; she thinks it is the best massage she’s ever had, while I think the one we had in Sri Lanka is still first, with this one being a close second! Bottom line, it was awesome! We spent the rest of the day doing nothing, …. and it was great! We got set up at our beach chairs, then walked around the island, making sure to stop at the Sunset bar and the Pool bar on the way. At about 6 pm, we went to see one of the employees feed the rays and the sharks. It was pretty cool to see. The rays come right up to him, while the sharks (maybe 4 – 6 feet in length) stay a little farther. But as soon as he throws food into the water, they all look like teenagers! Food is gone in no time! We then went for dinner and had a quiet evening afterwards.

Decisions, decisions.

Looking the other way!

It says it all!

Just off the docks leading to the water villas. People leave their shoes and now proceed barefoot onto the island 

The way home!

Standing at a bar - Jacqui had to take a picture as this does not happen often!!!

The pool, with the pool bar (is there a theme here??)

At least, we know where we are! Pretty close to the equator. Close enough that with the tilt of the planet, the sun rises to your right and sets to your left. Really weird!
