1/10/19...My favorite day was here at Amber Cove in Dominican Republic. It was absolutely beautiful and so much fun.

The sunrise was beautiful.  I watched it from our balcony

We walked up by the pool and they had towel animals on each lounge chair,  by the edge of the pool and all over.  It was so cute.

We docked at Amber Cove, Dominican Republic.  It was the most beautiful place I have ever been

My By The Inch Bracelet.  It's so much prettier that the picture.

I watched a beautiful sunrise on our balcony.  It was breathtaking!  We went up by the pool and found Wes, Gayla and Joel up there.  It looked so cute up there with all of the towel animals on the loungers and lining the area by the pool.  They even had a big alligator.  We ate breakfast in the Platinum Restaurant.  Then we walked off our ship and arrived at Amber Cove in the Dominican Republic.  It is the most beautiful place I have ever seen.  They had a beautiful pool and lounge chairs, and it was all free.  Bill and Wes went down the Zipline a couple of times. Bill and I swam for a while.  It was the most amazing pool I have swam in.  It even has a place with a couple inches of water to lay on a lounge mat and get a suntan.  Loved the lazy river too and it was nice that it had a place that went down gradual so Joel could sit and put his feet in the water.  

We all sat around the pool for a while. We went and picked out a coconut for a drink and watched the guy cut off the end and carve a hole in it for the straw.  Bill videoed him.  We were both so much into watching him that we walked away with out paying.  Of course the guy came running after us.  We sure apologized and paid him right away.  We drank the coconut milk from the coconut.  When we were finished drinking, we took the coconut back to the guy where we got it and he cut it and scooped the coconut out and put it in a cup for us.  We ate a little of it.  I was surprised Bill tried it because he doesn't like coconut.  It didn't taste much like coconut from the store though.  After that we walked in all of the shops and bought a few souvenirs and a pair of sandals for each of us.  Got some Dominican Republic money for the grandkids to go with the money holders we got for them in Puerto Rico.  We met up with Wes, Gayla and Joel and had homemade ice cream.  We went back on our ship and ate burgers and fries at Guys Burgers.  They are so delicious.  In the evening, Bill and I headed down to have filet mignon in our restaurant. When we went out our door a couple was passing by all dressed up.  He was in an Aloha colorful shirt and she had a matching dress.   They looked at us and told us it was elegant night again and wanted Bill to know they wouldn't let him in in shorts.  We went back in our room and changed real quick.  Then we went to the restaurant to eat all dressed up.  The meal was delicious!  I had a soufflé for dessert that was outstanding.  Yum!!!  Bill didn't see any dessert he liked listed, so he had ice cream.  Bill and I walked around and he bought me a “By the Inch” gold bracelet that is beautiful!  You pick it out and they make the chain into a bracelet.  We went to the Amber Palace for the live musical show.  Didn’t like tonight’s performance.  It was 80’s Rock.  I’m not a rock fan.  Played 3-13 with Wes and Gayla.  Bill was the winner!
