Wild Weather




Tuesday night we decided to hit up Soda Be Happy for some eats. I had a hamburger which I thought was delicious at the time, but the next day didn't go too well. Woke up with no appetite, and figured I had just aten too much the day before, so without breakfast, we headed to the beach for the sun was shining down brightly. About 10 minutes after arriving at the beach, the clouds decided to make their appearance and the sun was gone for the rest of the day, and more. It was still warm enough to laze onthe beach and swim in the Sea, so we did this until about 3pm and then headed into town for some eats.
El Diez (10) was recommended to us, and I felt like I would be able to handle their reknown egg hamburger, which turned out to be quite delicious. Following the different, yet satisfying meal, we picked up some beers and headed back to Cabinas Monte Sol (accom.). I realized I hadn't drank beer the day before, making it the first day in longer than I can remember, so figured I felt ill because of that. The first beer tasted great but half way through the second and my stomach wasn't having it and Be Happy's hamburger wasn't so happy on its way up. Anyway, the rest of the night included frequent trips to the bathroom...etc.
Thursday, the clouds were still hanging around, but I was feeling more or less better, so Mom and I went for a long walk down Playa Negra. When we stopped to rest a bit, the sun made a guest appearance for about 20 minutes right above us, but that was all for that day.
That evening, we went to Hot Rocks Cafe where we enjoyed some Nachos and Pizza, accompanied by the movie "The Bookies". It was rather good food (apart from it being way overpriced), and the movie was quite enjoyable as well.
That evening, the sky looked to be clearing up, and Mom figured that Friday might be a fantastically gorgeous day...she was absolutely right!
It was clear all night, and finally clear enough this morning to enjoy a Caribbean sunrise. After watching that, I headed back to bed for another hour, and then we got our day started.
We rented bikes again, and decided to go to Punta Uva, where the snorkelling was apparently better. However, probably because of all the rain, but the water wasn't clear enough to see anything and we just sat in the sun allllll day long. It was one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been on. After maybe too much sun, we had some eats on the beach front restaurant, and then headed back to Peurto Viejo to kick it on Playa Cocles for the last of the day.
That pretty much sums up the activites the past few days...
