Akumal Beach Resort - Friday

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

You'd think warmth and sun would get boring.  But...really, no.

The day was gorgeous, the water was sparkling, and there were buses ready to take the students and chaperones on the short half hour trip to the ancient Mayan ruins at Tulum.

Did I mention there was warmth and sun?

The Beach!

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

It's what we came for, isn't it?

There's plenty of white sand to lay out on, walk on, play beach volleyball etc.

The water is likewise fine with lots of water gear to float on or play with.

There aren't however any jetskis or other motorized boats here due to the reef that protects the bay the hotel is on.

But you can have kayaks and sailboats and such.

Beachside Bar

I totally still think the swings are cool

On the third day, Fraser finally decided to just go into the water. It helped that it was hot and the water looked cool.

So, off came the shirt and, in the extremely red swim trunks that Aly had gifted him with, he dove into the water to cool.

Again, Alex was out on the beach. She was taking full advantage of the gorgeous weather, hoping to get a nice tan.

Mmm, Mexico.

Annette was on the beach, sitting and enjoying herself as she tried to build a sandcastle with various sandcastle beach buckets.

After spending two days in the waves, it was time for a change of pace. Sokka got down on his hands and knees and started building a giant sandcastle, close enough to the tide line that he could get water to fill the moat with a little digging.

Those little mounds of sand on the ridge over there? Were totally robots attacking the castle.

Mike was ready to try out one of the kayaks today, unless he could get a beach volleyball game going.

Mohinder was lounging on the beach, idly sketching patterns in the sand as he watched the water.

After spending time on the driving range, John was back in his swim shorts, laying on a towel in the sun, contemplating getting his hands on a surfboard.

In between playing Drink Santa at the bar, Brooke headed out to the beach with a towel to lay down, more than ready to perfect that tan some more. Future skin damage be damned.

After gettng back from the trip, Jaina headed to the bar just to get something to drink. The swings were kind of neat, she thought.

Andros was out on the beach today even though he still wasn't swimming.

The Pool!

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Not quite as good as the beach, but some people like it.

The main pool is what all the FH rooms look out on so wave to your classmates and chaperones while patronising the poolside bar.

There are plenty of pool toys as well as a jacuzzi and many, many chairs to lay out on.

Turtle had gotten up early her usual poolside morning perusal of the Wall Street Journal, early enough with plenty of time to spare before the trip to the ruins.

Johnny was hanging around the pool this morning, getting in a few laps before the trip later on.

Shopping!

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Because what's a vacation without plenty of shops to spend your money at!

Re: Other Activities at the Hotel

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John had been lazily excited to hear there was golfing at the hotel. He thought hitting balls on the driving range would be the perfect activity to beat Gavin at.

It only helped that there was now a bet riding on it.

Tulum!

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

An ancient Mayan city (http://www.locogringo.com/past_spotlights/aug2002.html) right overlooking the water.

There's a bus standing ready to take everyone at 11am for the half-hour ride to the city.

More Tulum photos (http://www.locogringo.com/past_spotlights/aug2002/Tulum_ruins.html) I want to go

Despite getting in late last night, Mike was up early to hit the breakfast buffet. It was just like being back in Vegas.

Disco!

Re: Disco!

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Okay, Annette had more than one margarita and sipping one now as she was, she was standing off to the side of the dance floor, swaying with the music and watching everyone else dance. She would head out to the floor in just a little while, she was sure of it.

OOC

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Are you sure I can't just hop a plane and go?

Re: OOC
