Dinner and a fish spa

We relaxed a bit at home before heading out for dinner. We went to a street market where they had some exciting drinks and tasty food. Everyone had a great dinner with their fun drink. We then went looking for a fish spa. We found one and SV was really keen to try it. EV and MV were a bit too young, and besides MV wanted a massage and EV just wanted to play with everyone. SV thought the fish spa was hilarious, but she was a little scared. Luckily the fish really just wanted to get on TV's feet so SV had them in small, manageable doses.

Leaving the emerald pools

EV got a bit tired of the pool so TV took her out to warm up a bit and explore the streams surrounding the pool. Eventually we all got out and walked back towards our van. Just before we got there though, we stopped for a snack and drink. The food and juices were excellent, and really cheap too.

Into the emerald pool

Of course it's great to see an emerald pool such as this, but it's even better to go in for a swim. Especially when we were hot after a walk and it wasn't crowded. It was really fun swimming and walking around the pool. There were even a few small fish in there to look for.

Going to the emerald pools

SV did a bit of research and really wanted to visit the emerald pools for a swim. We hired a driver with a 'first class' van who took us there. Once we got there we had to walk a little ways to the pools, but it was a lovely walk and we didn't mind. There was a nice little rest area and some funny statues along the way too. The pool itself was quite nice and green, so it didn't disappoint.

Swinging on the beach

After dinner the girls went on a tree swing for a bit of fun. It was such a lovely evening as the sun set and dusk was settling in. We had a bit of a walk on the beach and a lovely couple took some family photographs of us before we started home.

Looking for monkeys

We went for a bit of a walk to another beach, partially to see the other beach and partially to see monkeys which were meant to live in the forest along the walk. The walk was nice as was the other beach, but we didn't see any monkeys which was rather disappointing. On the walk back we got caught in a tropical storm and got absolutely drenched. So we stopped at one of the restaurants for a drink and eventually dinner as the storm passed over. It ended up being quite lovely actually.
