We certainly hit this spot at the right time. There are no big waves and last night was relatively calm.
The Peppers are here as well. They picked us up in their dinghy at 8:30 this morning. We found the trail to the waterfall (the one furthest away from the beach). We only made two wrong turns. We stopped at the Jungle Garden (half way) for a beverage. The waitress, Biri, speaks good English. Then we continued our journey. We’ve decided the initial info we received on this hike was wrong. We were told it is a mile and a half to the falls. Our pedometer says otherwise. I think we’d gone 3 miles one way. We enjoyed a rest and snacks at the falls then headed back. Along our journey we saw lots of horses, donkeys, cows, dogs, chickens, one iguana, and some burros. Neil ran out of steam on the way back. He barely made it to the Jungle Garden with lots of breaks. We enjoyed a beef and broccoli dinner at this lovely garden. We arranged for a horse ride for Neil the rest of the way. He is still working getting his stamina back after his bout with the parasite. Steve, Denny, and I arrived at the beach 20 min after Neil did. As tempting as another cerveza sounded, we got back in the dinghy and returned to the boats. We were all beat! Good day though overall.
