Caribbean relaxed

Actually just right here, if I hadn't gotten this great sunburn while snorkeling. Silly me. The long-sleeved swim shirt has SPF 50, but you still need to put sunscreen on your calf and the back of your thighs! 2 hours in the blazing sun. It's burning now. Almost out of a tube of Fenistil and my after sun lotion. Okay, 2 days break. The accommodation here is really great. Simple, relaxed, clean, and with very nice people. Everything is in Spanish... but it works. Lots of smiling. There's even a swimming pool. Many birds and at least one agouti. On the way here, I made a detour. All the way to the southeastern corner. Good road, banana plantations as far as the eye can see. Correspondingly, the settlements of the workers. I almost got stuck in the sand at the beach. Carefully manoeuvred out, as the 4WD with limited-slip differential couldn't handle it either.

I don't have many new pictures. While snorkeling, I saw countless different fish, as well as a really big crab and a stingray. But you only discover things like that on a guided tour. It's even mandatory here at Cahuita National Park. Otherwise, the coral would probably be destroyed by now. I found the tour provider as follows: In an open kitchen (that's how most restaurants do it here), there was a poster about a snorkeling tour. I spoke to the cook. She introduced me to two men who work next door on a fishing boat. A fisherman and his son. First comment: don't touch the glass fiber, it'll itch forever. Alright, got it!

Ludrig, the son, then gave me his WhatsApp number. Next day at 9:00 would be possible. He'll get in touch. It turns out that Ludrig has 10 different tours on offer and acts as the intermediary.

The tour itself was well organized. 5 passengers, 1 boat driver, 1 guide in the water. The water was warm, lots of fish, only the sunburn...

What am I grateful for today? That I don't have to accomplish anything here. I just get to be.

Today's plan: Hammock + book + sunburn care
