Daisy was already up and smiled happily from the balcony as I approached. She met me half way up the stairs. I quickly ran back in to the room to grab one of my watercolor sets for Leightons daughter. I scribbled his name on it, in case I had to give it another one of the chef's.

Holding hands we sauntered back across to the other side. We met Leighton in the otherwise empty dining area. I introduced Daisy and handed him the gift for his daughter. He was just incredibly thankful, more than the tiny gift demanded, and showed us some pictures of his family. Daisy took to him immediately. He really is the sweetest person.

Now it was time for the mandatory sunset viewing before dinner. I took out my camera started filming and actually caught the entire thing on film. I takes less than 2 Minutes from the suns first touch of the horizon to it's disappearance. I think you can even see the green flash in the footage, if you stare really hard at it. I'll post that footage soon.



The dinner buffet was out of this world. It was Jamaican night, which is really more Jamaican/Indian cuisine.







After dinner we sat down with our British friends, who seemed to always be close by, when you feel like having a chat. The Long Islanders from the first morning asked whether we wanted to join them for some party at the jungle. Somehow that wasn't at all appealing, so we politely declined and made up our mind that we would stay right here for the night and attempt to try EVERY DRINK posted around the bar.

Our britts also thought that was a wonderful idea and decided to join us. So we sat and chatted, drank, puffed and laughed whole-heartedly until the staff was beginning to clean up around us.

I remembered how the bell-hop had mentioned that the bartenders would fill the thermo from the room with anything one liked. While every one thought that it was just preposterous, I actually went and got the container from the room. The bartender (no longer Andrew) did give me a slightly surprised look, but filled up the vessel with Red Stripe as requested.

Our friends, excused themselves, heading for their respective quarters. We ,on the other hand, had taken aim at the bubbling hot tub, that was sitting around unused.

While Daisy fiddled with the camera and timer setting I let my steaming hot body slide into the bubbling water. Needless to say the pictures didn't come out that well....

The sky was clear and a thousand stars twinkled overhead as we sat together in the hot tub and enjoyed a perfect ending to a perfect day...

Upcoming Events in Day 4: in the next report we'll be leaving the Grand Pineapple behind and get a surprising welcome gift from The Coco La Palm....
