Chacala (day 2)

Yesterday morning we went for a walk to try and get to the beach on the other side of town. It turns out that the entire property surrounding the other beach is private property and inaccessible by the average person. The only way to get to the beach there is by boat. All beaches in Mexico are public property, however sometimes access to a beach can only be by boat.

So instead we walked up the hill at the far end of our beach. There's a hotel there and we had heard about a walking path behind the hotel. We did find it, and it led to some lots where somebody a while ago had grand plans to build their dream home and then just stopped for whatever reason.

Then we came to a road that went further up the hill, so we hiked up there. It was pretty warm, and hiking uphill made us sweat like crazy. My shirt was soaked. Along the way was another dream home under construction, but we kept walking. At the top was some kind of guard house and we wanted to see the house but a couple of dogs came running so we turned around.

Managed to get an idea of the view they must have!

Spent the afternoon relaxing on the beach again. Watched a boat come in to the bay and happened to have the binoculars with me to see that it is from Vancouver, BC. That's the boat that was in our sunset picture tonight.

Heading out of here this morning though. Too many dogs barking at night make for not a good sleep. Only going about 30 kms down the road to Rincon de Guayabitos. Might be a little too touristy for our liking, but I guess we'll see!
