Hola Jan!!
Every now and then, we like to go on a day trip to the beach.
Sometimes, when I don?t want to make the drive through the capital out to B/C, I go the other way. Of course, once other people in the family hear this, all of a sudden we have a Caravan going. That leads to a split in the drivers, because half of the people want to go to B/C, and the rest want to go the other way. So we usually alternate between them.
I have been to some really nice beaches in Punta Palenque, and Bani. They are not as nice as B/C in terms of Blue Water & White Sands. But I really enjoy the scenery on the drive out there. For me there is a lot less pressure from the locale vendors. It may just be me, but the drive is pleasant, and there is a more laid back atmosphere, and when I get home, I feel great.
B/C on the other hand, is nicer by comparison, but has a sell, sell, sell, atmosphere, gets me in trouble with my Wife,( I always have to pick up my eyes and put them back in.)
and dealing with the traffic in the Capital on the way back home, when I get there, I'm usually exhausted. :tired:
Next up are some overnighters to the beaches on the North Shore.
Thanks
Tim H.
