It was much calmer Friday and so warm early in the day. I spent time knitting and writing in the morning. My allergies were triggered from mosquito bites I got at Rose Hall. The medicine did help eventually. Tim enjoyed the hot tub in the room. I had am amazing outdoor shower. There is something about showering with a beautiful sky above that is freeing. It is a refreshing way to wake up.
we went to Blue Lagoon for breakfast again. We were early enough to get a picture with our hostess before it got too busy. Tim got his banana pineapple smoothie and I got my made to order omelette. Good food to start the day. We walked down to the opposite end of the resort after breakfast. It felt so good to move.
I love that our room is close to the beach and pool. We can come and get swimsuits on just before going there. This morning we took a dip. I spent some time watching the fish and chatting with our friends from Kensington PEI. She brought her quilting to the beach, so a fellow crafter too. Then I got down to business to complete my post about the Haunted Tour of Rose Hall and do some knitting. The rest of our beach time Tim and I chatted or snoozed.
I had to leave when my burn got warm. We relaxed for a bit while the aloe cooled my burn. I also jumped in the cool bath water. It made my back stop burning. When I was ready we went down to the large pool. Tim grabbed some jerk chicken on the way by. The entertainment team was doing an activity so we moved along. We found two chairs by the pool, dropped our stuff and jumped in. It was cool even for me. We went to the bar and sat on stools in the shade. I was watching a crew from Florida sing along to the music with the confidence of people who knew the song when it was clear they did not. We moved closer to be in the sun. It did not really help. Tim went to the chairs to warm up. I finished my drink and joined him. We went back to the adults only pool by our room and agreed it is more our vibe. We can say we tried it.
Somewhere in there we grabbed lunch at Miss Lou’s. I had been eying the sandwiches and sweets. I chose a smoked salmon roll, grapes, and a lemon pastry. Tim got a ham roll and red velvet cake. The espresso machine was being fixed so no fancy coffee. Which is probably good. Tim took a moment to perform on the empty stage in the Infinity Terrace. We had a note in the room door telling us that the Mexican restaurant was closed so we should call to rebook an al a carte for the evening. We got in to the Bhogali for 5:30 pm. I knit on the terrace while we waited for our reservation. Tim took a great picture.
I left for a minute and Tim met with one of the chefs. He explained the preparation and flavours of the dishes. I took a picture with him and Tim. That thing in his pocket is his ‘Travelling knife’ with a cork on the end of it. A few minutes later he introduced us to the Indian head chef. I was awestruck that he would come and say hi to us just as the first seating was starting. It was such a highlight but I cannot even remember what I said to him.
Our waitress was amazing so friendly but not intrusive. I took her picture while she poured wine. Today was Jamaica day so she had the Jamaica colours on the bows in her hair. I ordered the Bhogali potato and chick pea salad to start. It was the perfect balance of spice to wake my taste buds, and was served on a bed of lettuce. The next course, Tim had the Subzi Samosa while I had the Lamb Sheek Kebab. Both were good. The spice hit me hard but settled after a few minutes. We both got the butter chicken and garlic naan bread. I loved how the tomato flavour just peeked into the butter chicken. The balance was just right. we ordered rice pudding and crème brûlée. Tim even liked the crème brûlée. He had a few bites and I finished it. The rice pudding was excellent as well. It was lightly spiced but the serving was cereal bowl sized. I could only eat half. This restaurant may be my new favourite.
we relaxed on the terrace after supper. We checked out the cigars but decided against it. The evening was the perfect temperature for both of us so we chatted for awhile before heading to bed.
