The Group gathers for Dinner

Eventually all 8 friends gather together again the pool. By now it's early evening, and although there's still plenty of sun out, the group's tired from their long flight and their swim in the pool, and everyone agrees that it's time to get some food!

There's an outdoors buffet style restaurant right along the pool, and the group decides it'd be easier to just all eat there, and then go upstairs and shower/change. They pick out a long table with 4 chairs on each side against the wall facing the pool, which gives them some privacy while still giving them a great view. The table is draped with a long hanging tablecloth, which helps to keep their lower bodies warm while they eat.

As everyone grabbed plates of food piled high with local dishes such as fish, poi, and tropical fruit, they started settling into the chairs to eat. Kate and James ended up sitting across from each other, with Andy next to Kate and Jasmin across from him next to James ,then Christine on Andy's other side with Kevin across from her, and Trish and David rounding it out.

Soon, everyone's digging in heartily into their meals, and chatting about the trip and school and their lives.
