What a day, what a day. Sunny skies, warm weather and a huge swimming pool full of awesome creatures. What more could you want? Glassbottom boaters interacted with a massive Green turtle that floated near the surface the entire duration of the snorkel tour. Two small Hawksbill turtles were munching on coral; we could actually hear the crunching sounds the turtles made whilst chewing…Incredible!!
The morning Tucker Tour ventured throughout the resort, gathering knowledge on how to survive on a coral cay if only the vegetation and animals were here. Reef Rangers enjoyed a Pirate Treasure hunt, and pirate costume making, all in preparation for the Pirate Party this evening.
ARRRRRGGHHHH ME HARDIES!! Welcome to Pirate Night!! Clever costumes and everybody’s scariest Pirate Face kicked the party off in style. Beginning with Coconut Bowels, everybody tried their hand at getting the coconuts closest to the white ball, for the ultimate title of Coconut Bowls Champion. Afterwards, teams of eight wrestled for the balloon relay title, as competition got heated in “over and under” and “between the knees”. Limbo was the ultimate crowd pleaser,and as the contestants got lower and lower, the cheering got louder and louder. What a Pirate Feat, to be able to bend so nimbly under a pole!! An awesome night was enjoyed by all who participated and watched!
