Well, we got off to a later start on Sunday, after breakfast and a walk around the resort. But, when we hit the road, we had a nice ride around the north and east side of the island.

This is a view of the Ocean Towers that we stayed in. They are shaped like a three looped figure 8, or three interlocking circles, with the cross over areas removed to make an open central area for a restaurant and snack bar.
