Predicted cold front and rain arrived this morning. We had already decided to take the day off and relax. We had a late breakfast and hung around our room reading. We plan a very early departure tomorrow for our nature and bird tour. A private boat will take us across the lake at 6:30 am before launches start. Then we will be met by a guide who will give us a half day tour to see local birds and wildlife. Several tour wanted us to meet at 5am. That’s a bit crazy here. I think we will have plenty to see what we want. Earlier trips plan for sunrise which will probably not be visible with the cloud cover from the tropical storm.
We tried to arrange a breakfast take out from the hotel but it seemed difficult. So we went to the local bakery to buy things to eat. We also picked out fruit from a bowl in our hotel. Coffee will be optional.
This afternoon we had both booked spa treatments. I admit it’s not really my norm but it was nice to have a salt scrub followed by an herbal shower. Then a facial which included a coffee mask. I think the salt scrub was somewhat like a hamam in Morocco but without being slippery with oil and then sprayed with hot water. It is an experience.
We chose a nearby spot for dinner that turned out to be simple. Nothing here is really fancy but it can be tasty. This town is very much a place for old and young hippies. So far we haven’t signed up for astrology readings.
We came back for an early night to get up early tomorrow.
