Planet Hollywood Costa Rica Day 2

Yesterday was a pool day.  I played some pool volleyball as Angie read and took care of some emails.  We had lunch at Guy's Burger.  Some of you may know this from Carnival Cruise Line. There must be some kind off partnership with Planet Hollywood because the one in Cancun has one as well.  A different menu than what's in the ship. But of course they have burgers!!  And things that aren't offered on the ship such as chicken tenders, chicken sandwich and a veggie burger.


For dinner we Teppanyaki'd!!   
Unlike others I've attended, this was a fixed menu.  You didn't choose your main.  You started with some fried rice followed by chicken, shrimp and steak along with mixed vegetables.  All very tasty. I especially liked the shrimp which had been cooked in lime juice,  garlic butter and soy sauce. 

After dinner we watch the resorts "Oscar" show. 
 The had a live band with dancers which played songs from popular movies with the clips playing on a background screen. They had some great versions!!   Especially "Iris" from the Goo Goo Dolls.   They played it better than two of the three times I saw that band at a concert. So many costume changes for the dancers!!   And they finished off with a rousing rendition of "Footloose"!  Very fun way to end the night.  

This morning at 9:30 we'll be going on a short Eco Hike around the resort.  Then more pool time. I went at 6 AM to make dinner reservations for Gusto, the Italian restaurant.  The seven of us in line were told that effective today, there are no more reservations being taken except for the Teppanyaki restaurant. It will all be first come, first served.  It will be interesting to see how that works since there are some larger groups here.   And a couple of the restaurants (including Gusto) are down by the pool without a lounge or bar area where you can wait for your table.
