Thursday 10 January

After breakfast we caught the local bus the few miles to the national park. It wasn’t long before we found wildlife. We walked past the beach where the previous day we had had our very brief swim. We walked up and around the headland with views to the small offshore islands. The paths were very muddy and treacherous in places but we made it. As we walked along a second beach we met Sal and Dana who were just arriving. We had a swim then settled down and watched the wildlife attempt and in some case succeed in pinching the food from picnickers on the beach. It’s actually quite bad for the animals as normally they would forage for food over quite a large area.







After the national park we caught the bus back down the road to a restaurant called El Avion. Essentially its called this because it has an ex-Contra Fairchild C123 parked in the middle of it. Indeed the bar is in the body of the aircraft. The plane was funded by the CIA from the profits from selling arms to Iran. More details can be found here; http://www.elavion.net/

We watched the spectacular sunset before having dinner and the odd drink or three.
