Cagneys is always fabulous. Tepanyaki loads of fun. It was just the two of us and our res was with a large party, which is fun at hibachi. The large party cancelled and they asked if we wanted to go it alone or wait. We waited and had a blast. Taste and Savor were perfect.

NCL excursion. Went to the ruins which were absolutely fascinating. Bus ride awfully long but it has ac. The guide and driver were lovely. The meal served was pretty awful, maybe baloney sandwiches on white bread? But it made us grateful for what we have.

Took a private excursion all over the island. Zip lining through the jungle. Held the sloths. Tried to hold the capuchin monkeys. Went snorkeling at a reef. Ate some iguana (too many tiny bones). Went to a chocolate company. Fantastic day!
