Breakfast was early as we are leaving the Turtle Station today. Sad times. We will miss the turtles, but will not miss all the critters that were trying to eat us alive. The mosquitos are so big and there are so many of them!! We loaded our stuff and ourselves back on the boat for the 15 minute ride.
Once we saw Rodolfo and the bus, it was like heaven with air conditioning. We traveled for a few hours and then went to the beach to enjoy the Caribbean Sea. It felt good to get wet without getting sticky. The Caribean Sea is very salty. For lunch, we had a little picnic. Adrian, Dr. Mo and Rodolfo fixed up the table and prepared all the food. Peanut butter and jelly, ham, and turkey sandwiches along with chips. Soon after lunch it was back in the water for everyone. A few girl's went back to the beach and created sand turtles.
While we were enjoying the water, little capuchin monkeys and raccoons were terrorizing our camp. They really wanted our food and were being very aggressive to get it. Dr. Mo was working hard to protect our bags of goodies. However, one monkey was very quick and reached into Kylie's bag and took her bag of chips before Dr Mo could save them. The monkey was back up into the tree, off to another branch safe from Adrian and Dr Mo's reached before ripping into that bag. The culprit called Alfred tore into the bag sending chips in all directions. The other monkeys gathered around quickly because they wanted some chops too. We laughed as we watched them eat and share the chips.
After we left the beach, we got to the hotel and had a few hours to be ready for dinner. It felt great to shower with hot water!! We went into town for dinner, then a little shopping, then back to the hotel. Busy day ahead of us. Hopefully everyone got a good night's sleep.
