Last night's supper was a bust. We went to our last "a la carte" restaurant which had a seafood menu. The menu which was quite short on seafood items looked like it had some awesome fish which were ordered. The first bite of my fish told me it had been cooked in a TON of butter. YUCK!!!! The staff graciously cooked me another fish using oil so that was very nice of them. The service was wonderful but this turned out to be our least favourite (and that includes Caro ). My favourite restaurant was the Italian and Caro's was the Caribbean.
Today we decided to take a cab to the town of Sosua and because the taxi drivers here at the hotel seemed too pushy we went down the street to the next hotel and met Romeo who would take us in his cab.
The ride got interesting when we hit a traffic jam caused by construction in a small town. We were on a 2 lane road with meter wide shoulders. At one point we were three cars wide in our direction (and not moving) with a very tiny lane reserved for the opposite direction IF they used their shoulder and sometimes dropped a tire into the ditch. That didn't stop some people driving in our direction in using the opposites direction ditch.(seriously). Motorbikes (and there are many) drove where ever they wanted to including the ditches. We went maybe 1 kilometre in that hour. After making it through that mess we toured Sousa ,stopped at their well known beach, continued driving around seeing sights and getting information from Romeo. All in all it turned out to be great but a bit more expensive than I thought it would be but I thought worth the money as compared to taking an organized tour.
This afternoon is cloudy and as usual we are on the beach under a palapa.
