With everyone well rested from the tortures of travel the day before, our day started with Starbucks from the coffee shop downstairs in our hotel - kindly brought up by Devon and Logan. They, however, had the pleasure of discovering strawberry frappacinos with whipped cream - a soon to be daily pleasure.
We ate breakfast at the Mosaic Restaurant in the nearby Cove Hotel, which had an impressive breakfast buffet. The highlight of the meal was the chocolate syrup container that exploded when it was placed near the hot water jug we were using for our tea.
Breakfast was followed by a trip to the Atlantis waterpark, where we had loads of fun tubing on the lazy river rapids and soaking up the sun. We headed to the beach for some more sunshine and after a lazy day by the water, we went for an evening walk to explore more of the resort. We visited The Dig in the Royal Palace - a giant aquarium based on the ruins of Atlantis - and then we headed over the marina to see the amazing yachts of the rich and famous. Very impressive. This was followed by a return trip to the Marketplace buffet.
After dinner, the adults went to the casino where we left with less than we brought and the boys stayed in the room to watch some tv. A great day was had by all.
