Thursday…we had breakfast at palazzina. We enjoyed watching all the kitty cats beg for food….and we of course could not resist sharing our food with them. We locked ourselves out of our room and had to have security come and let us in. I found claw by the rocks while I fed the turtles and ducks. Claw is a cute little mascot for a group I belong to. They play this fun game of hiding claw and posting clues to find him. I hid claw again and posted a hint on the group. We had lunch at palazzina. We went to the martini bar at 5 and Clive was there…he did a beautiful job playing his flute and saxophone. We have nearly gone through the whole martini menu. We also had dinner at palazzina at 7. I confess I do not understand why reservations are needed for a buffet but oh well. We went to the Bella vista bar after dinner. I emailed David parker at all the way travel to ask him about a deal we had been hearing about…book next year at this year’s rate. David emailed back and lower rate than we paid this trip for the same week in 2016…so we booked it!
