What a night, Emily wasn’t able to sleep in her own crib and wanted to sleep in our bed, which meant she slept better as we did. But all in all it wasn’t that bad, and it was only the second time this has happened. 

With just our hand luggage we were expected at breakfast in Animators Pallete, at 6:45am. We were perfectly on time. 

We both had a full breakfast and Emily enjoyed some of our food. This was the last time we had seen our servers Lydar and Didit. We had a lot of fun with both of them and Emily loved them. 

After breakfast I just needed to grab the USB Stick with pictures from Shutters, the onboard photographers. That was done really quick and at 7:15 we left the ship and we started chapter 2 of this vacation. 

First thing to do was going through customs, this was easy and we asked someone to help with our suitcases after we had collected them. Within 5 minutes we were sitting in the shuttle towards the National rental car. 

Everything went smooth our car was ready and we picked a nice Ford Explorer. After I installed the car seat we found out that the battery of the car was dead… Everything needed to be moved to another car including the freshly installed car seat. And that’s not something you want to do with 30 degrees Celsius. 

But at 8:45am we left the facility with a Ford Explorer Extended edition, officially a premium SUV. Knowing that we only were charged for a medium this is a nice upgrade. On top we got to bring the car back empty without being charged for it. Emily slept in her seat a couple minutes after we left.

In about 1,5 hour we were close to the villa and decided to do some grocery shopping at the nearby Target. At the villa I had the wrong early arrival time in mind which meant we were to early and the door would not open. After a call to the management office we found out that we needed to wait untill after 12:00. 

Danielle also got sick during the drive to the villa and decided to go to bed, After unloading everything Emily had her lunch as if nothing was wrong with her, also her fever was much lower. And around 1:30pm she went to back for her usual afternoon nap. She slept until 5:00pm, she clearly must have been exhausted!

The evening Emily and I spend playing with her toys and outside while I was grilling some sausages on the BBQ. And she wanted to go in the pool, a huge difference between six months ago that’s why I let her splash around with her feet a little bit.

After dinner we cleaned up everything and Emily went to bed without struggling this time. Let’s hope it stays that way for tonight and that Danielle feels fit tomorrow as well.
