Waking in the morning we packed our things, bought some groceries and filled up on water for the 2 nights we were spending on (what we thought was) a secluded beach on the east side of the island, the guide books mentioned it was a 2.5 hour hike to the beach but that was very wrong, hiking for 40 minutes only took us 10% of the distance so when we flagged down a passing taxi with a bunch of Westerners and hopped in and joined in on their tour of some of the highlights of the island, this included a lake inside a volcano, another tortoise breeding station (that we passed on) and the beach that Barbara and I wanted to camp. The other Westerners were fun to be about so we chilled on the lovely but touristy and small white sandy beach until they and the others left. Barbara and I set up camp on the beach and unsuccessfully caught any crabs to cook up (yes it is a national park and killing any animals has a huge penalty, but we wanted crab for dinner).
Despite the lack of crab the meal I cooked up was great.
We chased around hermit crabs in the evening and had an early night as Barbara had the on comings of a cold.
