Los Cabos - Day 2 San Jose del Cabo

Los Cabos - 墨西哥游记:第二天 (Day 2)

------------------------------------------------------------
第二天:Royal Solaris and Playa Las Velas (2007.12.29 Day 2)

  After breakfast, I looked at the map and searched for interests by the seashore. When I saw Royal Solaris, I made decision to take this adventure. Why not? we would drive to that way and let's meet those timeshare sales. Don't know who would chanllenge who ...
  It came to us a fancy hotel. The guard showed us the parking where Caros was hanging around. Must be no suprise to him seeing a lot of tourists fetched out to his bait. He had a honest smile on the face and introduced us to one of the watchers in the lobby. Working like a pipeline, we were escorted to the meeting room where the reception girl took over and asked us some basic questions to fill out her forms.
  The first sales man in the meeting room greeted us and brought us to the breakfast. Couple outdoor restaurants had closed so that we went to a buffet brunch. Not hungry, we ordered juice and took salad or fruit. It was probably the second breakfast for this guy. Anyway, we had a tour in the hotel and walked back to the meeting room. My dad was impressed by the hotel but I just stayed with the original plan: whatever you said I was always interested without buying.
  We experienced with those trained sales from supervisor to director, same model and style in the US even with the backward handwriting. As promised, no more pushing, no obligation, no presentation, in an hour we walked away with that $250 in cash and 4 tickets for a dinner show.
  It was still early. We spent rest of the day window shopping (while trying to bargain in Spanish) in downtown and enjoying the afternoon sunshine at Las Velas beach. When it was late, we were back to the resort and played for a while in the swimming pool. Certainly not to forget trying the hot tub before dinner and watching Spanish TV programs to close our first day in San Jose del Cabo.

  吃完早餐,驱车来到渡假村,看起来还不错。卡洛斯居然等在门口,见到我们,兴奋异常。估计他见过太多像没头脑这样见现金眼开的主儿,而且自己也有可观的分成,所以在这里等着,就指望我们出现。卡洛斯领我们去了讲座的房间,把我们交给门外的人,就走了。我们被带去吃早饭。吃的还不错,是美国式的自助餐,西瓜汁很好。吃了饭,参观了一圈,俺爹俺娘觉得这个渡假村比我们的那个好,当时说,如果没有你们那个,参加这个也挺好。
  谈判的时间到了,具体内容就不罗嗦了。和美国的销售人员都是一个模子训练出来的,连倒笔写字也是一个风格。总之,换了3个不同级别的人来和我们谈,我一概回绝,最后,领了250美金和4张演出餐券离开。俺爹开始以为他们只给我们250比索(相当于25美金),教育我说不要浪费时间。后来看到是250美金,顿时喜笑颜开,说,还有没有别的地方可以去的,我们每天都去,就可以挣1000多回去了。哈哈,难道我们是来挣钱的吗?新鲜事经历一回就得了,玩才是我们的目的啊。
  在这里混了半天,拿着钱,带着愉快的心情离开了Royal Solaris。

  先去San Jose圣何塞小镇的市中心逛街。

  一番讨价还价,什么也没买。因为我能说几句西班牙语,摆摊儿的说我是Amica,所以给我一个最好的价钱———比我在别的摊儿上用英语问的价还贵。 这里的小店到处都是,里面都是卖银器和手工制品。我怕不是真的银,带着过敏,所以只是Window shopping.

  然后又返回到海边的度假村。一路开下去,我们在最尽头的渡假村停下来,到里面逛了逛。这里的沙滩一片,一直连到Cabo San Lucas。我们在这里照了几张相。

  这里的太阳晒得不得了。我脸上涂了6,7层的东西,一天下来,雀斑还是都冒出来了。我们在照相的功夫,一个墨西哥大叔提个箱子过来,问我要不要买首饰,我说不要,他还是执着地过来了。给我试了好几个手链。我因为过敏,不能带非金非银得东西,所以什么都没买。大叔郁闷地背着箱子走了。

  回到渡假村,虽然不会游泳,还要到游泳池玩一会儿,回来再在门口泡一下。
Play in the swimming pool at the resort Relax in the hot tub
  Played in the swimming pool and relaxed in the hot tub. Here was the 2nd day.

  玩了一天,也累了。兴奋的第二天就这么过去了。
