We spent a couple of days relaxing and catching up on email, journals, mail and forward trip planning, and a couple of days on trips to enjoy the local scenery. We spent one day cycling which also included a tour of a massive cave, and a beautiful blue lagoon - which was great fun, but by the end of the day we were literally dripping with sweat and covered in dirt.
The second day trip, we took a kayaking and caving trip. The first cave we visisted was an amazing water cave - according to my book 2km long - you go in an inner tube with a flashlight and paddle your way through the cave. It would probably be quiet eerie if it werent for the fact that we were in a group of about 15 people. The rest of the afternoon spent kayaking down the river was very relaxing (Gary probably did most of the paddling as usual) and scenic, punctuated by a couple of breaks at the bars along the river where we had a very yummy (and quite lethal) mojito.
One of the odd things about this town that we do have to mention is an obsession with "Friends"- there are several bar/restaurants where Friends is playing non-stop - you don't really go there to socialize, you go to lie out in the little bamboo individual booths and watch friends for an hour or two. Very odd indeed (but of course we tried it.... a few times)
