Up and underway by 9:00

Continued our drive around the point. No track on our map but one showed on GoogleMaps. Just a small track passing all the shanties and at times quite tight between rocks for EC. 

We tried to stay as much as possible on the dirt roads but some shown as white were sealed and the main yellow one was dirt but very smooth.

Came around a corner to see a type of industry but no power lines to it. Could not figure out what it was.

Found a pool of water so filled our “washing machine" and put clothes in to wash.

Just before Puerto Viejo we took a short detour inland so we could follow the river back to the ocean hoping for water to do the washing tomorrow. Instead as we came over a rise the river bed below was filled with an olive grove, a huge number of trees. The grove must extend for 2.5km and is about 500m wide.



Following above the river bed back to the ocean we decided to drive to the edge of the river and look down upon the olives. A great place for lunch and the night.

Washing will wait.....
