After looking around the room for a little bit, we proceeded to walk outside and tour the resort. What we found: Storm clouds, nice umbrella chairs on the beach, the pools, and the swim-up bar.
Lamar is a very active person and cannot stand to sit on the beach and lounge all day. Needless to say we had something booked everyday but the day we arrived and the day before we left. So our first adventure was ziplining through the rainforest. If you have never done this, it is so much fun. There were 7 different lines ranging from 70 to 840 feet. It took about 30 minutes to an hour to complete all the lines. Here are some pictures as well as a video. (One piece of advice: Do not wear sunglasses while ziplining. There are times when your arms get jumbled and you can knock yourself in the face a little. Just ask Lamar. We had to straighten his glasses out a time or two.)
Before we took off.

Our tour guide for this trip was very entertaining, if I remember correctly his name was George. He let us stop at an overlook which was absolutely beautiful, showed us the 4th most poisonous snake on earth, opened a cocoa plant and had each of us eat a bean (which i will tell you, looks extremely disgusting and has a bittersweet taste, and showed us a pineapple plant.
Here is the video of what it looks like ziplining. On this particular line, I didn't make it all the way to the end. Your weight has a lot to do with the speed you will get while on the line, while I got quite a bit of speed for most of them, I always started to slow down by the end of the line, whereas Lamar came speeding into most of the platforms.
Well for me this is a photo-packed post and I am going to have to stop for today. Keep coming back for Part II of our Honeymoon.
