Day 5

A quiet day today. We came to have some relaxation time, and so far we have had the stress of the second level interview with the US Border officials on top of the errant suitcase.

My new "just in case it is lost for good" clothes from Walmart have actually been very good value for such a little outlay.

I hope the workers in factories in Honduras, El Salvador and of course, China, have been paid for their services to cheap t-shirts and shorts for Americans, and of course English tourists.

And the person that made my $4.49 aqua shoe did a great job.

We had a drive into Punta Gorda itself. The plan was to find the post office to buy stamps for some postcards. Despite the nap we ended up parking and doing something it appears is rare; walking.

Once that was done we decided it was time for our morning coffee, so we encared (means got in the car, if entrain means get on a train, then encar is okay) and set off for the "historic district". We never actually saw it, the signs ran out but heck, we were back at the village.

Parked up and bought a so-so (my white Americano with hot milk was too weak) coffee and finished it back at the apartment.

Lunch was at Harpoon Harry's. I had the burger and works and a Yeungling's pils, and Claire had the shrimps. By UK standards they were king prawns!!

Afterwards I felt tired and needed a long siesta, slight headache but I think it was a combination of the stresses of the week and the sun.

We stayed in for the evening and used up our bagels and some cereal for dinner.
