Around 10, we started to feel a bit peckish so we headed to the resort restaurant called the Sea Grape for breakfast. There we ordered 2 eggs over easy 2 pancakes bacon & hashbrowns. After our delicious breakfast, we head back down to the beach. It was during this time that Grace and I decided to go snorkeling again while Dan and Chris decided to stay on the beach to read and do some decompressing. 
After about an hour of snorkeling we returned to the beach to rejoin Dan and Chris. It was after a little bit of chit chat that we decided to head down to the Coconut Grill for a couple of libations. Dan got a classic mai tai, Grace got a classic margarita, and Chris and I got rum runners. The drinks were tasty but they were on the weak side and loaded with ice and juice. That experience was a bit of a let down on the part of the bar. 
Once our drinks were finished, we headed back down to the beach for a bit more R&R. After a bit of relaxing, Grace and I decided it was time to cool off in the water. While we were enjoying the bath-like water a small sea turtle swam by. I managed to get a few pictures of the little guy, but sadly no great pictures. While much smaller than the turtles we saw in Hawaii, they were a very cool site to see right off the resort beach. 
We decided to head back to shore, where Grace and I went to investigate some of the suggested local activities. We learned that the horseback riding and jetski's were too expensive. However, we did learn that since we have a rental car, we could do most things with out paying for a resort-designed tour. 
We returned to our beach chairs to relax some more, and after about an hour of laying under a palm tree, we all decided too cool off with a refreshing dip in the ocean. It was during this dip that a sea turtle decided to come up to us again for a little visit. I did manage to get some real cool pictures of him this time.
Leaving the ocean, we then headed to the pool area. It was here that we all noticed that we were starting to get some color. After spending all winter indoors we were all on the pale side, and the cool water of the pool gave us an indication that we were sunburnt. I personally believe it was the second time out in the water that finally caught up to us, as we all ended up getting a bit too much sun and thus ended up sunburnt.
With our new rosy complexions, we decided to get out of the sun and head indoors to shower and get ready for dinner. At the suggestion of the resort activities director, we headed for Lucayan Harbour to Pier 1 to watch them feed the sharks. Unfortunately, we couldn't find it, and headed back to the Port Lucaya Marketplace for dinner instead. We decided on a pseudo-Mexican restaurant called Agave, where we all got the steak fajitas, cooked in a chipotle bbq sauce. Afterwards, we went for another ice cream cone at Frank's, where I indulged in a rich and creamy coconut pineapple cone.
Tired and sunburnt, we headed back to the resort to relax and apply some aloe vera. It was while putting the aloe on that we realized just how sunburnt we had gotten. Grace and I had the trademark 'T' shaped sunburn you encounter from a long day of snorkeling. Chris was burnt on the shoulders and forehead, while Dan's sunburn was mostly located on the backs of his legs.
Covered in aloe vera, we all went to bed.
