So we made it downtown on foot. The first part is on a slippery rock strewn dirt road going through farmland/woodland areas. Beautiful and serene, I held on to Achilles arm most of the way down. The second part is on a rather busy road, no sidewalk… trying to navigate the side of the road watching out for zooming by cars. It was quite a feat.
We went to the lake. On one side there are boat tours the other is the local beach. I have NEVER seen such a crowded beach. It looked like what you imagine Rio to look like. Every inch of space completely covered in a mass of humanity. The water was inviting though and the black volcanic sand amazing as it wipes off completely. I also liked that a guy came by to sell me a water so I didn’t have to go up to the hotel to buy one.
After cruising around the rather packed town a bit we headed back up. I opted for a taxi back up the mountain. It was worth every cent of the $12 we paid. Happy to be back in our little mountain paradise.
