Day 8

Day 7 concluded with afternoon drinks to celebrate the arrival of Dean and Michelle and their friends, a quiet dinner at home and copious amounts of rain.

Day 8 started with a very clear correction to our concept of Day 7 wildlife - no they were not spider monkeys - they were Howler Monkeys and they made that known at 4:40 am until 5:10 am.  They have located themselves in the tree by the pool house. (I have an audio file, but it won't upload - check this out on Youtube)

They were quiet until 6:30 when it started to rain, and then it was constant until the rain stopped - 45 minutes - the rest of the time I sat watching the group of them eat in the treetop - quite the sight - the rain stopped and they seem to have disappeared - see if they are back in the morning!

We then set about connecting the network cables - the house is wired, but not connected to the router - so, room by room we tested and labelled - all done.


Then to the beach - Sunday is beach day - the closest is a very deserted spot - Playa Tortuga - down an unmarked road and across a bog - park on the beach - no shade, but no other people - some beer, some sun, some surf - 3 hours then off to the bar for more beer and then to the diner for dinner - a full Sunday!!
