We slept in. We tried to sleep in, but ended up both wide awake at 7 am…

We’d decided to take this as a rest day since we’d been logging 12 to 16 thousand steps a day and were pretty tired.

So we sat around the condo for a while catching up on Facebook, news, and Candy Crush until we got bored and went to the beach. On the beach, we found a hotel/restaurant on the beach that would give us a lounge chair, a few daiquiri and guacamole. We read and played Agricola. And drank. Until a storm came in.

What you need to know about Caribbean storms – horrible. They come in quickly, drown the snot out of you for about 10 minutes and then leave just as quickly. So weird. We left and went back home after our long day.

At home, we planned our night, and looked at the next few days. And discovered that we’d made a mistake with our hotel, a very expensive and difficult mistake.

When we planned our trip, we’d decided to stay in Cancun for our last night so we’d be closer to the airport in the morning. Apparently, we’d accidentally booked the hotel for November 24th, 2013 – the day the booking had been made. So we call to check out the situation. We’d been marked as no shows and nothing else had been done about it, except charge us. And they had no availability for the time we actually needed. So spent the next hour frantically looking for a hotel. We succeeded, but it’s still brutal.

After that, I TripAdvisored a good restaurant. We’d been to a number of hole in the walls, random places, etc, but hadn’t yet eaten a meal that I was super impressed with. We went to La Casa delicious Aqua on 5th Ave – the home of the sea. The food was delicious. And I’m not happy that the best food I’ve had here is in a high class expensive restaurant. Miranda maintains that her best meal is at the place near our home, but my meal there wasn’t the best. We’re going back, to check.

Tomorrow, we go to Cozumel. Later!
