Monday Day 3

Monday we woke up around 5am! The time difference was quite something to get used to. It did make the days seem to be really long though. This day we just hung out and went grocery shopping. We did swim one of the four private lagoons that the resort had. Darin and I swam out to the rock barrier and I grabbed onto the rock wall to not get knocked back by a wave and got stung by a sea urchin! I must say that was very painful. My finger started to bleed and there was no way I was going to be bleeding in the ocean! I swam pretty fast back to shore. The workers at the towel hut tried to give me tweezers to pull the little spiny things out but they just broke off and stayed in my finger. I still have a few in there. After getting some vinegar poured on my finger I was good to go. Josh offered to put his own kind of "vinegar" on my finger but it didn't hurt that bad!

This is in front of the lagoon.

The swim pools were awesome at this place. They had a pretty fun slide that went through the rocks. Good times were had on that slide.

The resort had this great welcome party and this guy was the entertainment. He is pretty well known but I can't remember his name. He worked at the Polyensian Cultural Center for 22 yrs before doing his own thing. He was also the guy in charge of the Luau that we went to on Tues night.

This guy made us the cute palm leaf crowns. I think he liked me!

Beautiful sunset on the first night
