Paw Paw - Log Day 6: Beach Day and Barbeque



After a great night's sleep with all the hatches closed and one air-conditioner unit running so that we didn't hear the loud music from shore, it was up early, have breakfast and head for the meeting point where coaches were collecting us for our beach day and lunch time barbeque at Bahia Concha in the Tayrona National Park. Great day out and exactly what we needed! Needless to say, after a long walk along the beach where we stopped at a little stall for a fresh fruit smoothie, the minute Elaine lay down on her beach towel, she was lights out. Fortunately she didn't snore! Roy had a moment of panic though at the little stall when Elaine tried to place her order in Spanish and then watched in dismay as they produced two fruit salads in addition to the single smoothie she thought she'd ordered. Given that we were the only customers standing at the stall, we automatically assumed she must have communicated incorrectly and then Roy realised he didn't have enough local currency on him to pay for it all. With grumbles from Roy that Elaine needed to improve on her Spanish and stop just saying "si" and smiling to every question asked, without the slightest glue of what was actually being asked, we were relieved when it transpired that the fruit salads were, in fact, for another customer and Elaine had indeed ordered what she wanted by sheer luck. The joys of international travel!
