a do-nothing day.... had a nice dinner at Patino's
the picture at the right is a view of the entrance to Seahorse Inn. The beach is just to the left of the picture.
unknown day - Coco Reef Resort Hotel
on
some day (yes, it did get to the point where I didn't know one day from
the next...) Barb and I had spent some time looking at the Coco Reef Resort
Hotel, floating in the water off their man-made beach. Coco Reef Resort
Hotel is a beautiful looking place but is odd in that one doesn't see
any local people except as staff.
We had understood that all beaches on the island were public but it appeared that this hotel's beach was off limits to locals. It was an odd and uncomfortable feeling being one of the very few non-white "guests" using the beach and water. As we floated in the water, we talked with an English man and his wife about the feral cat problem the hotel was having -- seems that local solutions to solving the problem do not include spaying and maintenance of the cat population.
