Punta Cana Day 3: Tea Ransom

By -
I tried to take it easy today after yesterday's day at the beach. I tried to sleep in, but had trouble staying asleep, my stomach keeping me from dozing off. I still made it to the end of the breakfast service, and then changed before going to the beach to swim for a couple of hours before heading in to have a bit of lunch.

After our meal, I watched a pool obstacle course event to pass the time before attending the Russian ransom thing. The ransom was quite interesting to watch, as it reminded me of some of those traditional Chinese tasks for the groom to be. After the many tests, we had the tea ceremony and I had another attack while trying to chat with Maggie.
 
The food so far has been as expected, so it has been fairly tasty. But I have been pretty tired at night so I haven't stayed up late yet. Possibly because of all of the activity or also because of my reaction to the food.

In addition, we were too poor to really enjoy a cone of soft ice cream when it did show up so I never built up that sense of tradition that others would share with their children.

Oh, but that was beside the point. Today I heard the ringing of a bell. This was not the sound I'm used to for an ice cream truck so I decided to investigate with Serena.

We were planning on going to the beach this morning but our plans got derailed when Serena stomped on Elsy's face and we had to wait for the bleeding to stop. It took so long that there was a chance we needed to go to the hospital. In the end, we thought it too risky to leave the house this morning lest the gusher started again, and so we set up the water table at home instead.

So it seems as if the link I had to the Polynesian Cultural Centre was flagged as a bad site. I double checked the link and, yup, I got a warning when I tried to visit it. I double checked if the link was changed and no, the search and Wikipedia still point to the same page so.. I just removed the link. We will see how the repost goes.
