4/28 (Mon)
leaving Sunset Beach Resort & checking in Half Moon, Rose Hall, a RockResort
  we have a very large hotel room at 2/F. (Rm 28) with a large balcony and large bathroom.  I think it is the largest hotel room, largest balcony & largest bathroom in our life.
both - many crabs.  The red one is so abundant.  It is also the favorite meal of the Yellow-crowned Night Heron.  The same crab as the one eaten yesterday.  Today I saw the whole process of the Heron: picking up the crab, cutting its feet and swallowing its body.  But unfortunately, no camera on hand so no picture nor video.
