Last night we had a great sleep until the 4 a.m rooster got going. That woke up the dogs who woke up the birds and that was the end of the sleep.
We skipped breakfast and headed down the beach towards Samara. We passed a couple of hotel/cabinas for rent and inquired at the first one. $85.00 a night. We got out of there fast. The next place was about 200' farther down the beach. It looked like a nice place and the manager was busy painting pictures which he sells as a sideline. He also wanted $40 night but we thought we'd take a look. It was up over the office and was beautiful! Two rooms finished in hardwood. Three beds, a separate room with a fridge, table, and a coffee maker. No cooking facilities but with a fridge we can make sandwiches and have our granola and yogurt for breakfast and make icecubes. It also has a balcony facing the beach which is 100' away from our room. It's very nice and he mentioned that the local roosters were now soup. We also didn't see any dogs. They're probably also in the soup. This is a good sign! One of the dogs that woke us up is the same breed as the neighbours dog back home. Small a yappy says Jo. They should be used as dog food for good dogs. Too bad they don't have anti freeze down here.
We went on to Samara and hit the bank and the grocery store and had breakfast at a nice place in town. We stopped at a hotel that advertised wireless to see if we could rent some time but the owner said it was for guests only but that the other two places in town also had wireless. Our new place is only a few hundred yards from downtown so it will be very handy as well as close to the grocery stores.
After we got back here we walked the other half of the beach which is covered with bits of coral from the offshore reef. The surf has been high since we got here and no good for snorkelling although there were some surfers a long way out who were really doing well.
