Day 4: excursion day at eden

day 4




this was taken from our balcony.


we slept in with the sliding glass door open and listened to the waves.  after a leisurely morning, we went to breakfast and ate our usual.





after breakfast we met our roommate.  we named him "judge."




we decided to spend the morning kayaking in the clear waters.  we got to see some beautiful fish and brightly colored starfish.



this is the resort from the water.  our villa is on the right.









after kayaking, one of the staff approached me and said, "mom, would you like to take our dirt bikes out for the day?"   i replied, "um, yes!"  we couldn't believe that the resort was going to let us take their dirt bikes out even when we had no experience driving them.  i refused to drive mine, and i made ryan refuse to drive his after they had told us the story of a previous attendee who broke their leg trying to drive it without experience.  

so, instead, one staff member and his friend took us out for a two hour ride up one of the mountains.  it was an amazing ride full of pigs crossing the road, goats eating weeds, clouds hugging the mountains in the distance, and the ocean below us.  towards the end of the ride, one of the guys driving let ryan take the bike into his own hands.  it was quite funny to watch ryan put the bike into gear and pop his front wheel off the ground and speed off into the distance.  locals were laughing.  







when we got back to the resort, we ate lunch and went snorkeling.  






as you can imagine, we were pretty tired, so we spent the rest of the day swimming, eating, playing cards and drinking wine on our balcony.
