The entertainment team at The Jewell does a fine job. Several young women and men run events, its a bit like being in an upmarket Butlins holiday camp, though I have never been to a holiday camp in England. The family used to watch a TV comedy program called Hi Di Hi! about the imaginary holiday camp in the UK. Hands up if you remember this!
Here the The Jewell the visitors are not encouraged to go off the site, so things have to be devised to entertain them. During the day there is sometimes a quiz show with a prize of a bottle of rum, held by the side of the largest swimming pool, (passing by, I realize the questions are outside my experience, since I am ancient and English - all about US sports and pop stars, it seems).
Sometimes there are beach volley ball games, which include people of quite a lot of shapes and sizes; I have done photos of these, and made a few sketches, and plan a painting when I get back to UK.
One evening a week there is a Beach Party. This starts at 6 pm - it is almost dark here by 5 pm - and food is arrange on side tables displaying salads, hot meat, hot fish, cold cuts, cakes, and also a collection of coconuts and sugar cane.
Large round dining tables and chairs, seating about eight people each, are on the beach with tiny little lights, so you cannot see what you are eating. (Though I am sure this is not intentional).
The entertainment this week, was a kind of coaching session by the young team for a few guinea pig guests, at how to dance a rather restrained reggae.
Then a professional troup of dancers performed, very well. Five girls in colonial era costume did a folk dance. The men were very energetically dancing, jumping, summersaults. Finally there was a display of limbo dancing, pole dancing, and fire eating.
Congrats to the team, Jason, Antonia and the others.
