Mancora. Chill out day. 29th April 2017

Saturday 29^th April 2017

Transfer to Mancora Marina Hotel which helpfully gave us an early check-in and breakfast. Huge amount of dragonflies around the hotel and frigate birds with a few vultures flying overhead.  Lovely long pool with a beachfront aspect.

Gunna and Ed visited the Loki Hostel which a friend of Gunna’s (David) owned. Average age 20 until the lads walked in!  Apparently the place to go – large swimming pool, constant entertainment/sports, low priced beer and food.

Iain and I flopped around the pool and beach area all day.  Good to do nothing at all. Think we needed to relax and chill. I had a massage in room – S70 for hour.  Very very good – fell asleep 3x!

Risked Happy Hour – started 5pm till 8pm. Mojitos a bit weak, Gin very odd, so ended up with sharing dry white wine.  Lovely meal of steak in peppers and onions and rice.   Iain had grilled grouper followed by a pancake. Ate out on the terrace, but somewhat plagued by lots of beetles aiming for the lights.  Nice crunchy sound as the waitress walked back and forth!  Lovely breeze from the ocean.
