Back north we went to the dread rough road. It was 3 miles of agony, bumping and chopping over the insanity that is this road. To add insult to injury, the three road workers cheerily waved us as we went by; and when we returned many hours later, apparently not a single iota of work had been done, and they cheerily waved us by….

But then the road got a lot, lot better, probably the best we’ve yet seen on the peninsula, with a speed limit of 110 kph.

Best still, we came over the brow of a hill and there was this magical view of a blue river and palm trees and green. Coming down the hill, we had a chance to take a few photos:

B shooting from one end of the pull out…

…..and me shooting from the other

Notice the horse in the next shot?

On the way back, we took a side trip over to Las Barrancas. Not much going on here, just a little fishing

Another side trip was to San Miguel Comondu. Situated in a lush tropical canyon, it is a delightful  old village, with a church

And an unusual way to move a horse around

Then back through the terrible road works, and eventually, back to the hotel, only to then set out for groceries and Chinese take-out – yummee.
