After lunch we went to the pool for a last visit. We decided to get the 'land train' - a vehicle pulling either two or three coaches seating about 20 per coach. Very basic, but very necessary on this huge site. As we drove past some of the people in the villas close to the road waved. Why is it not just called a train - even without rails road train would work better. When was the last time you saw a sea train, or an air train. All trains go on land as far as I know.
Arriving at the pool later than planned we moved dinner back half an hour to get a reasonable amount of time there. Thomas was seated in his 'flotation device' and was really enjoying being pushed through the water. At one point he was kicking his legs and moving through the water under his own power, the direction of course was quite random, but I like to think that he realised that it was his action causing the movement. While the others went off to go down some of the bigger slides he stayed with me, and we went out deeper, where the water was warmer. By now it is dark outside and the atmosphere was changing inside the pool - the temperature outside was close to zero, inside it had dropped and the water at the edges cooled down quickly. Thomas was feeling the cold. Out in the middle the water was still warm so he enjoyed that more. He was happy to get his mum back though. Then I tried a little swimming The pool is not designed for straight swimming, but along the divider it is possible occasionally. After a few widths I was tired, and wondering how my shoulder would hold up.
We left the pool, getting washed and dry in the changing rooms and headed to dinner at Las Iguanas. The service was good and appropriately attentive, the food was nice enough, if a little on the spicy side. Anyway we all enjoyed ourselves. The only slight disappointment being the beer - Brave Red Ale - a craft beer, which lacked body, although the taste was OK.
