I think in my previous blogs I have failed to mention that in addition to the boat we sleep, eat, and play on, there is another boat. Below you can see the boat used for zipping to different ports. The day boat if you will.
We spent most of our day on the beach. The Peddle boat was rented again and I had my first go at peddling. This may have been mistake for as soon as the kids realized that mine and Freddy's leg power combined made for fast going we were forced to zoom the entire swim area at full speed. By the end we could barely move and had to push down our legs with our hands to maintain speed. As if that weren't exhausting enough as soon as we got back to the beach it was time to play in the sand.

The humble beginnings of what is to become and epic expanse of tunnels and walls.Ram working hard creating tons of small squares to decorated the top of our barrier wall.Tut pretending to look busy while the rest of us slave away. He said at one point he was the project manager and went about ordering more tunnels and walls to be built.Nearing completion. I'm working on a volcano as the two boys discuss the various pros of having a volcano near the castle. The main perk being that all bad guys will be burned up as they try to invade.And finally the finished project! 7 holes one for each person working with tunnels connecting them and a barrier wall surrounding the whole thing. Our 7th worker bee is Marie and she is behind the camera in this one.After a long day on the beach we had lunch then decided to take out the tender. We got up close to a lot of the boats in the bay. The boat below which is called "A" is by far the largest and most impressive looking. Nobody can decide if it is aesthetically beautiful but it is definitely unique.


It is hard to tell how huge this boat is from the photos but if you can imagine that it fits close to 7 other smaller boats plus some odd jet-skis inside of it you may begin to understand.
We also saw a helicopter landing on one of the yachts today. Unfortunately I was unable to secure a photo.

Post tender ride we went land side and the boys found some italian buddies to play soccer with. Amazing how fast you become friends over a game of football.
Tut driving the boat after soccer. The ride was pretty crazy as we whipped back and forth through the water. He had a hard time going straight.And the icing on the cake was that a hotel in the bay was having a big party that ended with fireworks! It was beautiful with all the boats, a cool gentle breeze, and the fireworks reflecting off the water.
