The pirate captain Jojo from Red Pirates Bar and surf shop. He is an awesome sailor and took us around the entire island and to Puka Beach to collect shells. 600 pesos an hour. Our trip took 2 and a half hours. A beautiful flower from mandala spa and villas. Vegetarian fried rice ( topped with egg:) from Mandala Spa. It had a curried rice flavor. It was healthy. Our room at Mandala Spa. It is an awesome suite. The bed is a king sized, the ceilings are high and we have our own private balcony and look out. It would be a wonderful place to take a honeymoon. (Ladies, I am available^^;;;)  I love the spa. I had a cleanse today and last night I had an aromatic massage.

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.
