A storm blew through last night and we had lots of rain. I woke up several times to the noise of the garden furniture being blown around and the sound of the surf pounding on to the beach.

It was nice to be able to have a bit of a lie-in, although we were both awake by 7:00 am. Had a snooze until 7:45, but we were both hungry. We went around the corner for breakfast and had two really good cappuccino coffees. After breakfast, I prepared the summary of the week, but decided that if I got goodinternet connection I would post it as I have been doing. There is so much missing if I only post a summary.

I waited outside the internet office for about 30 minutes before being allowed in. This office had an orderly queue outside, so there was no pushing ahead of the line. Ralf went to line up at the bank. As it happened the internet was good and I was able to check email and post a full week’s blog in an hour.

On returning to the casa, I got my bikini on and relaxed in the sun, trying to even out my tan!!!. I even went for a swim. Ralf got on his bike and went for a little spin, as he likes to do on his day ‘off’ the bike. We are going to spend another day here to cycle the peninsular and then head out on the northern coastal road on Wednesday.

Tonight we are going to a Cuban take-away, we have a bottle of wine in the fridge and some rum – perfect.

The meal was really good from the take-away. We had a pork steak, rice and salad for 2CUC each, incredible price for a really good meal.
