The local hospital was a good place for the night and the Park a good place for the morning. I entered second just behind the local bus who had the staff on board to drop off at the various beaches. The major parts of the Park were the mangroves which were only accessible via boat and the minor parts were a handful of beaches. All beaches were located on the sea with just one beach that was located towards the lagoon and this one had amazing transparent water as the lagoon was not very deep.

The water was so tempting that I had to take a bath and feel the warm water. I am sure that with a bit more time you would have lots of fun exploring the Park and snorkel along the mangroves and on another occasion visit one of the numerous hidden turquoise sand beaches. I had just the morning and left my sunny lagoon beach with the stunning transparent water and moved for an hour to a shadier palm treed sand beach by the sea.

I left the Park and had a drink and a snack before I went to the internet café to spend the day hoping to catch and speak to my little baby Matilda. I had direct connection via cable which gave me good speed and made the work worthwhile; I could really upload several days to the site and several pictures onto Picasa. The news about the border had not changed and the luck of my home team in the Champions League neither, nor my luck to speak to my little baby Matilda.

I noticed quite some noise from downstairs which continued until the time the café closed. I did not get up to have a look, I am not curious enough but I could not avoid running into the crowd that was making that noise after I left the cafe as the crowd  lined up at the supermarket next door and kind of blocked the entrance to the café. I had seen the queue now for petrol and the bank and was looking now at the queue for pasta. About 200 to 300 people were in line and were watched over by the local police as well as the National Guard. People were allowed to enter in groups of ten and at several points the crowd lost patience as some felt that the line of order was disrespected or the rumor came up that the waiting for up to six hours was in vain as the pasta ran out or the supermarket would close.

I did not want to eat pasta anyway and went to my favorite bakery to buy some bread and ham. I had my luxurious dinner and went to my favorite parking in Tucacas, the local hospital. I worked on the picture I had taken that day and decided to stay yet another night in my favorite hotel, my car thinking maybe I come back one day and stay at the beautiful beaches and get sunburn.
