We woke up feeling pretty luxurious, to the sunrise over the lagoon out our windows.

We walked to the hotel restaurant for breakfast,

which was opulent and delicious. We felt like spoiled tourists in an episode of White Lotus.

In the morning we went snorkeling in the lagoon in front of the hotel villa.

We went to the pool in the afternoon,

and to the nearby beach to swim, paddleboard, relax, and read in the afternoon/evening.

For history's sake I should mention that the only damper put on this glorious day was a fast moving stomach bug Seth got which slowed him down a bit. Our leading theory is that the culprit was a sandwich he ate (that no one else did), that had been left in the warm car all day during our excursion the day before.
