We stumbled out of bed around 08.00 and headed to the poolside restaurant for breakfast. Next stop: beach. We found a good spot with 2 loungers and the right balance of sun and shade for the day ... and we held that position for most of the next 7 hours or so.
I finished reading my book, "Absolute Power" by David Baldacci. This was his first major novel, published in 1995, and I fully understand why it catapulted him to the top of the Best Seller rankings. It was very good and I can recommend it for anyone who enjoys a good conspiracy thriller. But it is quite a long book, so be warned.
We walked along the beach a few times, paddling in the warm water, listened to our music, and even slept for a bit. This was my view of the world for the greater part of the day ...
We went to the pools a couple of times to swim, and had a light lunch in the poolside restaurant. Late afternoon we bade farewell to this little slice of paradise and headed back to the room for showers. After supper in the main restaurant we packed our bags and are ready for an early night.

We are scheduled to leave the resort at 09.00 tomorrow morning for a departure flight around noon, returning us to Birmingham airport around 19.00 local time.
Au revoir, Riu Touareg, until the next time!
Great trip with outstanding comments! That video of the water crashing up on the shore was quite effective: yikes! Thanks for sharing and making us feel like we were there :-)
