What felt like an easy start to the morning, with breakfast at 8 at the hotel. French toast with maple syrup might be my new favourite breakfast. At about half past nine we left with Augusto (minus Jeremy who had gone out on his own) to walk into town.
The walk was about 4km according to Augusto, and was entirely along the beach. It was beautiful. Blue waters, coconut/palm trees, bright blue sky. People surfing and sunbathing. The sand wasn't perfect, as there was quite a lot of lumpy coral washed up on the shore, but it didn't spoil it for me.
After our long walk we arrived in town. After randomly looking at a few jewellery stands with us, Augusto left to run some errands and we wandered through the town. It was really tiny, consisting of nothing more than some souvineer shops, a few restaurants and a couple of hotels. After looking in some of the shops (I must be saving lots of money as there's nothing I want to buy) we had a drink at one place (Canada Dry Ginger Ale is becoming my drink of choice) and lunch at a Mexican restaurant. Hongo y queso empanadas - that's mushroom and cheese to you. Yum. 
A quick stop off at the supermarket and we were ready for the long walk back to the hotel, again via the beach. It felt like it took a really long time, and by the time we arrived back at the hotel it was 3:30pm. By 4pm Rose and I were back on the beach in our bikinis, trying to make the most of the remaining sun. The sun sets really early here - before 6pm - but it was still really warm. Unfortunately I realised later that I had been bitten alive by sand flies - I'm covered in dozens and dozens of itchy red lumps. Lovely. After a shower and some packing we ate at the hotel again, and I had salad for the second night in a row. Then it was to bed to watch Once Upon a Time - Natasha has showed me how to download it - and an early night.
