Camping with Barbara on the beach of Puerto Chino last night was great, but one complaint was certainly the bugs, the tent was filled with them and when we turned on the flashlight swarms of these little critters would jump around like crazy.
We woke early to watch the sunrise that wasnt all that spectacular and wasn't worth the early wake up but you never know I guess.
We had the beach to ourselves for a good part of the morning before the locals would come and drown out the tranquility with their cell phones and music on repeat through the sound of their distorted inbuilt speaker.
One little note for the morning was that the entire beach literally was covered with track marks of the hundreds of hermit crabs that crawled about the evening scavenging for food.
Barbara and I did want to spend the following night at the beach but we didn't have the enough water which was a bit of a shame because we are both traveling on a tight budget and spending another night would have saved us a but of money.
Because of the lack of water we made our way back to Puerto Baquerizo Moreno via taxi with a bunch of other tourists costing us some pocket shrapnel. Looking in the guidebook there was a place you could sleep in a treehouse for $4 a night but my guidebook was published 3 years ago and obviously the owners took advantage of the flow of people and are now charging $20 a night. Shame really, that would have been pretty cool.
We returned to the same hotel that we stayed at when we first arrived where we had our stuff stored and checked in.
We didn't really do much in the evening other hang, drink a couple of beers and share a meal because I cooked a late afternoon snack that we were still filled up on.
