Day 8
Today we didn't do much. Well some stuff. It was cloudy all day long, but luckily no rain (except for one shower). After breakfast we went picking sea shells on the sports beach, and found quite a few interesting ones. This beach seems to be the best for shells, with hardly any good ones to be found on our own hotel beach.
Did quite a lot of shopping, both in the sports beach vendors shacks and in Caribbean Street. Shopping in the vendors shacks can be a very stressful experience. Everyone wants you to go into their shop, which would be fine if they'd just let you browse. However, as soon as you look at something, they'll pick it up and almost force it down your throat. Take the fish we looked at first, it was a bit tatty, we didn't really want it, but the shop owner just couldn't get the message. 
Another fish we looked at we did end up buyng, but only after 5 minutes of haggling the price, threatening to leave the shop we got it for less than half the starting price. At one point we were told that the price we suggested was less than he had paid for it - but the final price was even less than that. Karolina did really well at haggling for some jewellery, again threatening not to buy anything unless the shop owner agreed with her price.
Lunch today was Barbeque style by the pool. Yum! and huge Sangria! Frank sat down with us for a while and chatted a bit.
Later we went over to the Bachata and we sat at the swim up bar for a while and had a drink, as well as trying the real jacuzzi which we found - more bubbles but still quite cold compared with the ocean. 
Later we took a paddle on one of the boats again, enjoying it a lot until it started raining, making us paddle to the shore again.
The evening was similar to the previous evenings, with dressing up, dinner and watching the entertainment. We left early to be energetic for tomorrows Catamaran tour. We got stuck on the TV channel BBC America though, showing "The Office" plus numerous house, garden and antique programs. The Americans obviously love British TV. Alcohol free day for Karolina.
