Today was finally a day of relaxation- our first since arriving in Hawaii. We headed down to the beach at midday and after a half hour came back up and found some lounge chairs and a bit of shade around one of the many pools on the grounds. I really like the design of the resort and the pool we were at flowed around in a bit of a circle and even had a little waterfall. We took turns going into the water and I also had a couple of stints in the hot tub. Although I did slather myself in sunblock and had a hat on I still got a bit sunburned. Around mid-afternoon we started to get hungry so we bought some lunch at the gourmet market and headed back to the suite to eat. I took a shower and moisturized my skin like crazy to hopefully prevent it from peeling in a few days.
We had dinner reservations at
Duke's Beach House, which is the only restaurant located at the resort. The place was packed and we ended up with a waiter originally from the Bay Area. I ordered the ocean mile cocktail, which may have been the strongest drink I've ever had in my life (lots of rum and vodka). The food was good but not great and I found some of the dishes to be a bit heavy and fried. We were so full from dinner that we didn't even attempt dessert. The walk back to the suite was nice with the pathways being illuminated by flaming tiki torches.
