Wednesday January 12, 2022, Yalapa Hike to both waterfalls

Ok, so only the lady’s made it to the second waterfall. The first waterfall is about a 2 and half hour hike (or longer in this case round trip, again the pictures tell the story of the first hike. Afterwards, we were on the beach enjoying a beverage, then the ladies headed off to see the second waterfall. See the pictures for that as well. As Dave and I watched the various beach bars and restaurants close for the day, we headed into town for a restaurant for dinner. As we walked along, I found a cell phone in the surf and gave it to one of the ladies running a bar, and she said she could get it back to the owner. We ran into Reneé and Darcy and turned around to go find dinner. Dave and I caught a water taxi into town, the girls elected to walk. We met in town and had dinner. I checked in with our scheduled water taxi, who told us he quit’s at 6 pm, and we were out of luck with him getting us back to the boat. We got to the pier and we were looking for the regular 7:30 pm water taxi, (which apparently doesn’t exist), and a guy that was dealing with trash (maybe?) said he could get us back to our boat. He got a kid who grabbed a kayak and took it out to a Panga, (no paddles) and in the dark brought it in and got us and took us back to our boat, where suddenly the price for the ride went up (not really unexpected). In any case we were back on our boat. The end to a rather long day.

This is the last stop for beer on the way out and the first place on the way back.
