We’re good at that, not making great plans but rather go with the flow and letting life surprise us! And today it all worked out great.
We woke up early and decided that even earlier would have been great. People gather at the beach for sunrise at 5.30 and we’ll try that tomorrow.
Had a swim in the Carribean Sea before breakfast. We saw a sloth in a tree right next to our balcony and took its dvise to go slow.
Went into town, walking on the beach in rain- it is the rainy season and we’ve had some rain every day. A walk on Playa Negra is great! The sand is so soft.
The nice guy in the reception at Banana Azul had shown us a good place to have coffee and we went there. Great coffee! It stopped raining as soon as we had shelter (!) but I found myself even more wet after the rain. Kammie is used to it being humid, but I am not! I constantly look as if I’ve had a shower!
The nice lady at the coffee place suggested a great spa and we decided that was exactly what we wanted to do. She booked us up for massages a couple of hours later and we went shopping in this adorable town. Got us some nice earrings made of bananas and headed for lunch. Streetfood, avocado sandwiches turned out to be a good choice. Really nice people there and we found ourselves treated to raw cacao from a fresh friut that he cut for us. All kinds of people there and we got names for good places to have dinner. Lovely, friendly people.
The massage was amazing! I had chocolate massage and K had passionfruit. All fruity and relaxed, we went back to the hotel to relax as shown on the picture. With good drinks we stayed on the beach to see the sunset. As for sunrise, people gathered again.
We had dinner in town tonight at a great restaurant that we were recommended, called the Flip Flop.
What a great day! One thing led to another and we made the best of it. We’re catching on to that pura vida.
