Saturday night

 What a noisy night last night! The THUMPING music until the very early hours of the morning; the general noise of many people out and about, celebrating (in boozy fashion) Friday night.

Today Caro went out for a run and afterwards we went to pick up our freshly laundered clothes.

After a bit more grocery shopping we were back at the apartment with both of us having naps in the afternoon.

The photo above is the street behind us running parallel to the beach. At nights it is full of people, cars and motorcycles all manouevering around each other, The street is very much alive with music, live and recorded, along with the usual sounds of hundreds of people.

This photo is taken 90 degrees to the left of the previous photo looking towards the beach front.

Our apartment complex is at the end of this cul de sac on the right hand side.

Examples of prices here.  A can of beer (purchased in a store as part of a 6 pack) 68 cents C:  a small bottle of ketchup $C5. Limes 15 cents each (Photo below is Caro buying the limes from a street vendor)

Supper was left over chicken, salad and home made french fries (the apartment comes with a tiny air fryer).

After this..

....we went out for a beach walk only to see the police closing the beach (they were on quads or walking, clearing everyone off). I don't recall this happening before tonight but I do remember the other night when we walked the beach there was hardly anyone on it so maybe this is a nightly routine. Anyway, everyone just moves off the beach section, on to the paved/cemented walkways area and continues enjoying the evening.

We walked the beach sidewalk before heading onto a side street to buy an ice cream cone ($C 1.70 for two single cones).
