Sunday, day five at the resort, and the original plan was for me to head over to the spa for a massage mid-morning. However, after a relatively exhausting day the day before, we ended up just sleeping in, well past the time of my spa appointment. We opted for a day at the pool instead. Our slight sunburns seemed healed and with no tours scheduled, it seemed like the perfect way to spend our day. The pool over at the Sunrise section of the hotel is absolutely incredible. Winding through the resort, the pool is huge with bridges crossing over the various sections. We found a spot that seemed relatively quiet yet in close proximity to one of the swim-up bars.
We ended up talking with another couple and it was crazy how much we had in common. As we talked about our kids, in-laws, houses and work, the time just slipped by. Of course, that was probably helped along by the mai tais (I think maybe six or seven?!). We finally started realizing that we'd probably had a bit too much sun and decided it was time to head back to the room. A bit too much sun proved to be an understatement. As many bad sunburns as I've had, this one tops them all. The worst place? My bottom lip, of all places. It's blistered and so sore. Not to mention completely swollen. What a downer on our trip.
So today has been spent holed up in the room, far away from any touch of sun. We've kept ourselves busy with work and watching movies, but unfortunately had to miss our trip to Chichen Itza. :-(
