After the long walk on the beach we went back to the room to change. I had the chance to try the shower on the balcony. It was really nice to take a shower outside. Note that if you have a room on the sea side you have a bathtub on the balcony (good to know for next time). Taking a shower outside really achieved to convince me I was on vacation.
We then walked to the Crown Plaza which has a shopping area where we wanted to explore the shops and have dinner. As much as it is handy to have a shopping “mall” near by the hotel, this one really is not great. Most shops are luxury shops so not so interesting. We were looking for local products; maybe buy some souvenirs, etc. Still there was a supermarket where everything is overpriced of course but we could buy some bottles of water and local biscuits (the surprise is in the box, can’t wait to try).
Now where to have dinner? That turned out to not to be that easy given that the selection of restaurants was really not appealing. We ended up in a Chinese restaurant and ordered fried noodles with mango juice. I can sadly say that the mango juice was the highlight of the dinner. Conclusion, tomorrow we need to go somewhere else. Luckily for us there was an ice-cream place so we could have good ice-creams as dessert, which compensated totally for the bad dinner. By the way they claim that all the ice-creams are made with fruits produced on the island using imported Italian ice-cream machines. We’re skeptical about that claim, what about you?
