Oh a lovely nights sleep and what a view to wake up to - so exciting! A long lazy breaky overlooking the sea then off exploring. Once down on the beach - the Alcove is in the hill, the first person we met asked us if we wanted hash, this is the second time we've been offered hash the other time was in Mumbai by a man ravaged by lepracy who kept telling us it was very good quality and very fresh - aaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!! Not likely for us anywhere from anyone as we've already decided to avoid anebriated states and keep our whits about us!
Anyway our feet had hardly hit the beach when we were swamped by about seven young adults selling everything and wouldn't take no for an answer - took a long time to shake them off.
Cathy's Log: Me Darling's cold has dropped onto her chest so we set about finding a pharmacy. Everyone we asked put us in the right direction but the day was hot and many stops were necessary :) found a fantastic nook on a crossroads called the Mango Tree. The rains came so waited for them to pass and start trecking again.
Of course we came accross quite a few pharmacies but it turned out none opened on a Sunday...at least Cathy was getting an opportunity to sweat the cold out of her! Cathy was up for more walking - the setting was so tropical and we found ourselves in the hippy quarter. Now wouldn't you think they would be full of love and happiness and a lightness of being? but no! they didn't look at us, didn't say hello and one woman even laughed at us. she was in her Indian outfit all bare-feet and long haired and made an instant judgement and found us hilarious - what a silly woman!
Their area of the coast was raised with almost a panoramic view and their houses were the biggest and the sturdiest and their motor bikes screached the loudest with their harley engines. we were so happy to be staying at the Alcove with it's serenity and isolation.
have to go again!
Namaste xx Cathy&Dee
