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.....
