We had a great day yesterday. It rained in the morning but it then cleared up. 

Mandala Spa and Villas is amazing. It’s so zen and luxurious. We had deep tissue massages last night and we are going to do Yoga this morning. I am going to do a cleanse later and possibly get a body wrap.
Food last night was yum, scrum. We went to Paradiso Grill over by D’Mall and we picked our own seafood and had them cooked to order. We had the white snapper with ginger and soy, lobster with lemon butter, grilled marlin with garlic, jumbo shrimp with a sambal sauce, lots of tomatoes, cucumbers, a grilled eggplant salad, and Chinese Spinach. It was all delicious and not heavy. We all unanimously proclaimed it was the best meal so far. It all came to about 2,800 pesos ($60.00)
Alrighty, time for yoga.

    I could go for some lobster or any of that fresh seafood.

    Ironically Im on a little “tropical”/jungle island in the middle of the ocean off the coast of Africa, and we dont get fresh seafood.

    Although you probably don’t want to eat the local fish as it probably has been caught with no form of refrigeration.
