On Monday we decided to take advantage of the free bikes that the hotel offers and explore the island a little.
Becuase I am that guy, I brought the garmin running gps odometer with us on the trip and strapped it to the handlebars. It is exactly 1.30 miles from our hotel to the edge of downtown San Pedro.
Paty did pretty well riding the bike, she takes a while to start and has problems stopping, turning or changing directions but other than that she does quite well. Luckily the island life pace is really laid back and the local are used to silly tourists riding around on their only road. Most of the traffic is actually golf carts instead of cars.
We ending up riding through San Pedro and across a toll bridge(that we didn't realize was a toll bridge, so we owe the city of San Pedro two US Dollars) and out into the part of town where some of the newer resorts and large personal house are. Exactly 3.6 miles from Mata Rocks Resort we found this absolutely awesome bar that was built on the end of a pier about 50 yards out in the sea, Palapa's:
We needed a break after the 'grueling' 40 minute ride, so we hung out at Palapa's for a while. Paty even took a dip in the ocean there:
Sadly we had to ride back to town:
At night we have gone to Papi's a few times, where Paty befriended the 'band':
Tomorrow we are fishing with another couple from our hotel in the morning and then as long as we catch something, we are going to have a bid beach feast at the Squirrel's Nest. Each night an older Dutch couple that is also staying here has been cooking their dinner on the charcoal grill that the hotel has. So we are teaming up with them to provide dinner for at least 6 people. Assuming we catch the fish that is.
All for now.
