Day 14 Barcelo Tambor

We had the entire day at the all inclusive resort today. Many people from our group took excursions off the property. We considered a few. By the time we enquired about joining the group to go ziplining, the excursion was full so we stayed and enjoyed the property. 

I promised a few pictures of the Barcelo Tambor property. 

J and I kept bumping into people all day and having better opportunities to visit with fellow Caravan travellers. 

This little gem of a pool was outside the spa and fitness area (where you won’t find me on vacation!). But in the afternoon it was totally in the shade and John and I cooled down for a swim here and watched scarlet mccaus fly overhead. 

Then we had a lovely visit first with Annemarie from Spokane, then Joyce from Ohio. And besides that, there was the occasional worker, but no other guests!  So it was kind of like a private pool. Most important, it was far cooler here than in the full sun of the main pool. People kind of treat pool lounge chairs in the shade just like cruisers treat poolside chairs on sea days - they throw a towel or a book on the chair to save it - preventing anybody else from using it, and only use it themselves for about an hour of the day!

J decided to go out and take pictures of the ocean and then was standing knee deep in the water taking pictures of the water. A staff member came over and  waved him to come in. The staffer asked if he spoke Spanish to which J replied no. The fellow typed something into his phone and google translated it to English. It read:  “There is a crocodile in the water!!” Yikes!!!!  😳 We had been talking earlier with Annemarie about this saying, surely they would have signs if there were crocodiles in the water!! I guess not!!  Glad I never had a desire to swim in the ocean!

We will be leaving this resort tomorrow morning so I repacked my suitcase in preparation for our departure tomorrow morning at 7:45 AM. 

We have a dinner reservation for our group at the steak and seafood restaurant tonight at 7 PM. But at least a few people will be missing, either choosing to eat at the Japanese restaurant or staying in the small town of Montezuma as an extension of their excursion today, soaking up all the Bohemian vibe of the place!
