Kayaking and dancing

March 2, 2013 - Saturday
   Great breakfast and then decided to take the kayaks out to the coral ring and maybe beyond.  First you go through the really deep water and then reach the coral ring where the water turns turquoise, and at some points, the coral is actually protruding out of the water.  We saw all kinds of little colorful fish and Dale saw one big one jump out of the water.  While you are still in the coral ring, the water is so peaceful and clear that you can see everything to the bottom without snorkeling gear.  We got close to the big waves but they barely rocked our kayaks after being quelled by the reef; it was fun and a great way to enjoy where you are.  There were surfers over to one side at the breaks in th reef- they go out everyday and know where to go to avoid the coral ring.

We parked our transportation and then headed for the pool - this is the restaurant next to the infnity pool.
Marty in the infinity pool - we think the sea might be a little warmer - but both were great.

The coblat blue fish by our deck. After a little swim in the pool, we had a light lunch on our deck in our chairs that we didn't have to reserve.  Marty got a little bored so she jumped in and went for a swim, and, since we had an outdoor shower she could wash the sea water off before settling in for a short nap.  Life here is so exhausting.

Bungalows from the sea.

They put the clams in cages to keep them safe from big fish before putting them out to sea. 
We walked "over" these every day.  Clams are the blue.

A pretty yellow and black fish - we thought he was pretty even though he may be a Hawkeye!!

Our bungalow as you approach it.

Board walk.

The mountains over our resort.

Our evening was spent going to the resort restaurant and staying for the Tahitian dancers.  We had music and dancing.

One of the exotic Tahitian dancers.

Both Marty and Dale were lead up to the stage to dance - that is Marty's back.  There are no pictures of Dale since we were both on stage.  Believe us - neither of us had hips that could
move like the natives.

So colorful and so fun to watch.
