Another day off cycling as this place was too good to rush passed. Got up at 6 am, could not sleep in our children’s tent as it was too hot and it was already getting bright outside. Enjoyed a breakfast feast of watermelon, local funny looking mango and avocados on the beach. A bit of a leisurely walk and snuck off to a well frequented organic café run by an expat couple; top quality coffee roasted on the premises followed with banana chocolate chip pancakes and rich chocolate brownies. Refill on coffee was free so we left with strong dose of caffeine and “Simpson eyes”. Spent an hour inhaling the sun on the un-crowded beach, but while walking back along the beach to the town I kicked a massive rock (accidently) and broke my middle toe (nice!) .
I suppose I will have to continue the trip with a purple, swollen toe! Ice cream, beer and more sun ended up with pink or red coloured skin on my chest and a painful sleepless night to come… Teresa even suffered a little sun burn too . Strolling through the nightlife we met a fellow traveller from Bocas del Toro (Panama) Heinrich (English Dutchman who lived and travelled abroad) - He also only had 2 weeks left and was heading for Managua (the capital of Nicaragua) to return to Germany and work as a plasterer in Lake Constance. Discussed everything from liver problems (after too much travelling/drinking) to the political situation in Libya and the problems expected in the UK. Great location to soak up the atmosphere of San Juan in a lovely wooden bar when enjoying the evening breeze.
