Our first hot shower in almost a week was fantastic. (That doesn't mean we weren't showering, we'd just had only cold showers for a while!). We then decided after breakfast to hire bikes & ride down to Manzanilla beach that had been recommended to us. It turns out, it wasn't our best plan ever! The beach was over 13km away & in 30+ degrees on old bikes with no gears, it took quite a while & resulted in our skin leaking by the bucket load!! And to rub salt into our very open pores, we passed 4 other beaches on the way & the closest beach, a couple of kms down the road, was actually the best beach! D'oh! But.....no complaints really, as we did have a swim in the warm Caribbean sea & chilled on the beach for a while, making it a cool, if not slightly sweaty day. We obviously just could've made it easier on ourselves & cut out about 20km from our ride! But, we probably needed the exercise. We got back & de-sweated, ready for our mixed review dinner, (mine was lovely & Rach's was poo! (not literally!!)). Most backpackers stay at a place called 'Rocking Js', which was where we were recommended to 'party'. We strolled the km+ down there to join in the frivolities, only to find there weren't any! So a couple of drinks there & in town before we headed home.
