Well, we decided not to 'go out' for dinner and instead try the Rumba beach front restaurant for the Sunday bar-b-que and it was not a mistake. We went early to get a sea side table and to get a glimpse of what was being offered. The salad buffet looked awesome and the sauces looked… Continue reading Club Rora Sunday Bar-B-Que at Rumba
Holiday should be a laid back period of time when you don't 'have to' do anything…and so it is!

It would not have been quite that long if we had not… Continue reading And the next adventure begins
