Lounging in Lagunamar


Lily and Alice has been wonderful, has accustomed to their new environments and been able to play together during many of the days without other friends. Yesterday we treated them into a wonderful 24 hours at Lagunamar, an all-inclusive resort, with a intriguing water playground for children, and indoor "dagis" facility, an exquisite supper buffet and big comfy double beds with shiny white linen. (And no mosquitos, that unfortunately molested our nights at capitan Enriques). Lagunamar was a bit like a reversed Guantanamo Bay, a haven of western world comfort completely sealed off from the venezuelan normal and admittedly shabby life. The size of Lagunamar is impressive, just to let you have an idea of it I can mention that to get to the playground you have to pass no less than six swimming pools, all with different shapes and functions.
Alice strutted around in the water in her light blue swimming suit. Lily frenetically ran around the playground, totally immersed in the feeling of the 30 degree soft water and the slides and tunnels. We had a water cannon war this morning, firing from fixed angles at each other. However, she did not want to go with me to the giant "toboganes" the extremely thrilling big water slide (works like a bobsleigh track). Like me, Lily doesnt boldly venture into physical games, rather than throwing herself into a water slide, she stands beside it officiously explaining how to REALLY go about to use it properly.

Note to the image: Many guests like this stayed at Lagunamar. Very big and rather menacing looking buggers, but harmless.
