Al Medina Day 1
On first arriving in Al Medina, Piers and Hera had the Hotel Excelsior to themselves. They took advantage of that opportunity to enjoy the hot tub ... doing what honeymooners do best.
After donning their new warm weather clothes, the next attraction they wanted to see was the beach, just a short walk from the hotel. Most of the time, though, they only had eyes for each other.
offered a lovely view ...
quite inspiring for the usually Unflirty Hera.
They explored the Arboretum nearby.
It was a pleasant, cozy garden.
Hera wanted to capture the effects of the sunset on the nearby gardens and buildings. While she did, Piers walked around critiquing various things that caught his eye.
Unfortunately, he also decided to critique his wife. They both were left with a 3-hour, minus 15 Upset moodlet from this thoughtless blunder. Honestly, Piers!
But before heading back to the hotel, they checked out the opera house. No performance was scheduled, so the couple just ordered nightcaps in the refreshment lobby.
The bartender appeared to be new, but they both enjoyed their romantic Cherry Casanovas.
But they weren't quite ready for sleep just yet ...

But it was a beautiful day.
A stroll down to the water's edge ...
The moment was perfect for a romantic photo.
Back in the Foreign Quarter, Hera and Piers discovered the Secret Nectary. Not so secret really since the place was crowded with locals and tourists. They both learned a French song each from new acquaintances.
Of course, they tasted the nectar. They would definitely come back to purchase a few bottles for their nectar cellar back in Rinn Fada.
By then it was dinner time. They ate outdoors at the bistro. Neither was very hungry after the nectar, so they just chose simple fare. They'd try local cuisine another time.
Luckily, he realized his mistake and quickly jumped to a flirty joke. Hera forgave him.
Then I had them teach each other the songs they'd learned until their bad moods passed.
The Quarter didn't have a lot going on entertainment-wise that night, but Piers and Hera visited the tea house and sipped pick-me-up ginseng herbal teas.
By the time Piers and Hera got to their room back at the hotel, it was after 1:00 in the morning.
