A bite to eat at Chipotle (like Subway only Mexican) and we were back at the hotel collecting our bags, then on to our next destination. Not sure where at this stage.

While the sky was quite hazy from distant fires, the view across the water of distant islands and ships was great.
A while later, back in camp, we realized that the old historic rail tracks running through the park were still in use - by a freight train that blows it's whistle ( a very long loud foghorn) as it passes through the park. 10pm, 12pm, 2am .....
