Out-ish

Though the Gorse Fox had managed to get a hat yesterday, the Silver Vixen was unable to get one that fitted - they were all way too big. It was suggested that we should go and try the shop in the other resort so we hopped on the shuttle and were deposited outside the gift shop at the reception block at the top of the hill.

The Sandals Ocho Rios is huge and this was clearly their more prestigious area. It was modern and very open. There were lovely large swimming pools and beautifully manicured gardens. It didn't take long for the Silver Vixen to find a suitable hat so we went for a stroll so that we could guage the place. It seemed nice, but clearly not as secluded, nor exclusive as Royal Plantation where we are.

We took the 'Hop' shuttle bus back down the hill to the beach resort. We had some time to kill before the shuttle back to Plantation so again took a stroll. There were some nice spots, but would not suit us. As we strolled along we caught sight of someone who was clearly having a hard day at the office!

Back at Plantation we went down to the beach bar and ordered a drink and waited to meet up with Mulder and Scully. We had a nice lunch then went our separate ways. The Silver Vixen and Gorse Fox headed for the east beach and settled down with books. In an effort to reset his body clock, the Gorse Fox was intent on grabbing a power nap; it just didn't happen. Try as he might, he couldn't drop off.

It got very windy during the afternoon and for a while the sky looked a bit threatening. Whilst it was clear that the headland to the west of us was getting a thorough soaking, it remained dry for us.

Tonight's plan is to meet up and head to Kimono's for dinner.
