Last day on the coast

Today started better when I discovered that the whistle we had lost yesterday had escaped inside the car, Christine discovered that she had in fact packed a second pair of reading glasses, and we still possessed the rather imprecise complimentary road map from the car hire company. So although our resources were depleted, we were still functional.

We started back at Conchal beach to see whether the snorkeling was any good. However at the end of the beach where the shell sand was coarsest and the water very clear, the waves made it dangerous to snorkel due to the presence of rocks. We settled for sitting in a rock pool and just viewing the scene underwater. There were large numbers of fish, mostly small, but very pretty. The best were the iridescent indigo fish, and the bi-coloured ones with a blue top and orange underneath.

Later we walked back along Brasilito beach which was still abandoned, and ate at the most salubrious eateries.
