Sun and sand.

Not much to report here. We're still on the west coast, relaxing on the beach. After moving around the country, it feels good to have nothing better to do than decide if we want lunch and if we're going to take the bikes out for a spin. Oh, or if we want a massage(yes, of course). We have one more day here, then we go to the capital city for a day before flying out to Bangkok, staying for a day and night, then back across the pond to the US.  

We were going to snorkel or dive here, but their best reef is about an hour and a half boat ride, one way, so we'd be sitting in a boat for longer than we'd be snorkeling. Not worth it. Instead I think we will snag the bikes and go into the fishing village and have a look around. The small hotel on the beach is very quiet. Only about 10 guests total are here and it's a family style place. Small and intimate. Perfect. 

Today, we went out dolphin watching. Now, I am not what you'd consider a "dolphin person", but they were pretty cool. This time of year, they travel in pods of hundreds off the coast. And we saw hundreds. I do have a new found respect for those photographers that manage to snag a picture of that perfect dolphin, bounding out of the water. We were in the middle of so many and got only two good photos, both taken by Tom. One is below. 

However, they raced alongside the boat many times and we captured these, quite nice I think. 

And four at once. 

Us in the boat...

And now I'll return to sitting in my chair, under the palapa, looking at this.
