We woke up and slowly got ready for breakfast. There were so many breakfast choices, and the food was good. Miles found breakfast to be his favourite meal, and this morning ate 5 doughnuts and some churros. We had a little chat about including some healthy foods next time. The coffee was decent too, unlike that we had on the plane the previous day (worst coffee I've ever had!).

When we woke up that day, I realised that I had forgotten to pack my medication. There was a doctor's office at the resort (right next to one of the pools, luckily), so while the kids played in the pool, fully clothed, I waited to speak to the doctor. I didn't know how I would prove that I needed these meds, until I pulled up my NHS app. It showed everything I take, and the doctor wrote a prescription for what I needed. We took the kids to get dry clothes so we could walk into town for a pharmacy.
The walk wasn't too bad, and we got to see a little bit of Alcudia. At the pharmacy, I was able to get my prescription and tylenol for the kids and adults, all in my very broken Spanish. (Also, the doctor visit and meds cost less than €60!)
It was very warm and sunny, so we wandered the souvenir shops to look for sunglasses for Miles and Clara. Matt and I ended up with sunhats, and the girls chose their souvenirs. We walked back to the hotel drinking cold water and slushies.
We arrived back at the resort at lunchtime, so we ate, got some drinks, and went to the pool. After a swim, we changed, had a rest, and went to the bouncy castle area.

The kids enjoyed playing, but we all needed a rest before dinner. Back in the room, the kids watched television while Matt took a nap. I started watching a game show based on those arcade coin pushers. It was silly, but I found myself rooting for the players.
The dinner theme on this night was Chinese, and my word the British holidaymakers here LOVED Chinese night. The queues at the main buffet line were enormous, and some people were starting to get very salty toward the staff and each other. The kids and I kept to the second buffet, which was geared more towards kids - chicken nuggets, chips, and a few things I could eat as well. Matt did stand in the main line once, for a looooong time, and when he got back said the food was not really worth the wait. We were very tired and cranky after this, and not looking forward to future meals. I do have to say, though, that the staff were exceptional, especially through this meal (I don't know how they did it).
We left the fining area and tried to go to the pool, but found it had closed at 6. Disappointed in humanity, we went up to the room to relax for the evening. At least we got a good sunset.
