After our delicious Mexican breakfast, we had a great morning at the Dreams Cancun. Finally there were blue skies and sunlight. We walked along the beach. We laid out in the sun. We took pictures around the resort. We played in the pool. We even went to the swim up bar and had a couple of drinks.
Then we went back to our room to take showers before lunch. Dark clouds had started rolling in towards the end of our beach walk, and soon thereafter, the pouring rain arrived.
Of course it did. The rain wasn't accompanied by the thunder and crazy winds from the day before, but it was a heavy soaking rain. So, despite a gorgeous morning which made us feel sure that we would be able to try something new for lunch, it was back to the World Cafe for another buffet lunch where we would once again eat too much food.
This time I didn't take any notes about the food, either in Cancun or with the photos I uploaded when we got back. So there will be a lot of guessing about what we ate as it wasn't all that memorable. Two years later most of this has sadly faded. At least the menu was different from the two previous days, so it wasn't boring.
For my first plate, I got a quesadilla with salsa and guacamole, some shrimp lo mein (there was an Asian station), potatoes, some roulade type of thing, and a yellow thing that looks like an omelette but I have no idea what it really was.
A also got lo mein along with two stew-type dishes: one with meat and potatoes and another pork stew with onions.
At some point I added some grilled chicken thing (this recap is going really well) and a chicken sandwich. I do remember that I had high expectations for the chicken sandwich since I kind of liked those formed chicken patties when I was a kid. Either they are worse than I remember or this one just wasn't that good.
We also got a bunch of desserts (chocolate mousse with raspberries, strawberry ice cream, some other mousse thing with strawberry and other assorted dessert things). All were fine but I think the ice cream was still our favorite.
And we got some drinks. Because... why not? It was vacation, they were free, and it just wouldn't stop raining.
Lunch was okay, but just not what we were hoping to do that day. Why did it keep raining at lunchtime to force us into the World Cafe option when we would rather try something new? Would we ever get to try the beachside cafe?
