Today was a totally relaxing day. Joel and I took an early morning walk before breakfast and visited the other public beaches on the island.
Then we had breakfast. Today they actually got the kids’ orders just the way they like it, so Caroline are 3 pancake and half of her eggs, which is probably the most she has eaten this whole trip.
Then we decided to spent the day at the other big public beach, Playa Larga. Another family recommended it because the restaurant on the beach was about half the price of the restaurant at our hotel. The kids and Joel did a little snorkeling. Otherwise we mostly just relaxed, swam, and reapplied sunscreen. I managed to finish a book, which was a great victory!
Lunch was delicious and while the food was cheap, the drinks were more expensive than other places.
We left the beach around 3, and took a taxi (golf cart) back, for once. The walk from the hotel to the beach is only about 15 mins but when it’s 90 and sunny, it’s much more taxing than one would expect. The $5 cab ride was well worth it!
Back at the hotel, we did much the same as we did on the other beach. A family was playing an intense game of soccer and invited Bennett to play. He has been dreaming of this moment the entire trip! Joel and I switched from Balboa and Panamá beers to caipirinhas, which were super delightful. Joel started chatting with a guy from Columbus, Ohio, who happened to be an engineer on the Honda Odyssey! That was very exciting for him. Eventually we had dinner at the hotel and the kids actually ate a full meal of spaghetti bolognese. It’s our last night in Contadora, and I don’t think any of us are rest to go.
