We tried to set out early from the hotel to help avoid the heat but with Dave and me not really liking mornings that was tough so we got out of there around 9:30. The road was nice and flat outside the city for almost 40km and so we passed many banana plantations. The farmers put coloured plastic bags over each banana bunch that we assumed were to signify which were ripe. But it sure did look funny. Further along the road the hills started and we found ourselves in a jungle like climate, super hot, humid and uphill. Soon after the unfulfilling downhill we came to a small resort town on the beach around lunch. We ate at a closed cafe beside a hotel eyeing up a patch of grass in front of the beach that was clearly on hotel property. Uschi asked if we could camp there and they agreed if we ate in their restaurant. That sounding great we agreed. The patch of grass was wonderful and if you walked out on the beach and looked back the view was incedible. Green mountains in the middle with rocky cliffs jutting into the ocean.
We polished the day off with a long swim, coconut shrimp, frapuccino (unfortunately not from starbucks), eating whole coconuts from the trees, and a perfect sunset. Unfortunately this is where I lost all track of time as the ocean claimed my watch.
