The Beach

The rain finally cleared out, and the sun made a desperate attempt to break through this morning. The temperature was also climbing higher than it has done for the last few days.

The usual morning activities after breakfast followed by a visit to the office to pick up the mail. It was just like Christmas, there were 5 packages for us. Really need to get back home and kick this eBay habit!

After we had lunch we decided it was warm enough to head down to the beach for the first time. March break / Spring break is kicking off down here so the student population is building. At the beach there were a few people around but it wasn’t the warmest of the days with a stiff breeze. There were groups of students who were determined to be on the beach in swimsuits because that is what they do at spring break regardless of the temperature. Not more than a hundred metres away was a group of people sitting on beach chairs wrapped in sleeping bags!

But I am sure all the people on the beach felt safe as the US military were patrolling the area.

We managed just under 1.5 miles walk on the beach and even picked up a geocache in the process. On the way back to the resort we managed to find a couple more caches. Unfortunately we are in more of a built up area here and the caches seem to be hidden in very easy and mundane spots. We need to head off into the country.
