Tuesday, the first full day, bursting with options. We have breakfast at the hotel before starting that long walk up to Punta Esmeralda ( I think I'm just going to refer to it as Punta E from hear on out-Im tired of writing Esmeralda [IMG]

I know she was esmerelda but its close and this way I never forget the name of the beach
!
Its a full 1hour walk up the beach north, but what an amazing hike. Kiteborders in the bay, very few people on the beach which stretches
in front of you further than the eye can see. Beautiful! Take water with you or anything else you may want because there will be no place to get supplies that far up. Reef at CoCo beach is the last place to get a drink or snack or massage. Light day on the beach, maybe 4 or 5 others scattered along the sand. Everyone had that look of "are we in the right spot" so no one had felt sure enough to be naked (same thing happened to us when we first visited) they watched eagerly to see if we would blaze the trail. We settled into a nice piece of sand and I took my trunks off.
You would've thought I fired a starters pistol! within seconds everyone else is in the buff ( you could almost hear a collective sigh of relief) kinda funny
everyone was willing to be naked...just not the First one to be. We are chillin in the breeze just enjoying the sun, as I glance over I notice the couple next to us seems really excited to be naked on the beach, really really excited. At first I thought they were trying to fashion some sort of human sundial- so they could tell what time it was, I was wrong really really wrong, and we can just leave it at that.
The rest of the day on the beach was G-rated, perfect water and weather! Man you don't realize how much you miss it till you take that first plunge into that crystal clear water! We walked back home along the beach then grabbed some burgers on 5th and 26th I think its called superburger. Not bad and really cheap.
Back to the hotel to shower before Happy Hour. I was just gettin out of the shower when the front desk calls to say we have a visitors. YEAH! its Anna and Elsa! WOW she's a beauty, and Elsa was just as beautiful
!
OK this is areally shitty pic of me but A GREAT shot of the girls!
We had a wonderful visit and made plans to get together later in the week for a BBQ with the happy family. Now it really feels like we are back in PdC. A and E head home and Dan and I head out for food. I spent hours making a map of places that were on the deal card so I was the man with the plan. Longstory short I misread my own map and we can't find Kubuki
no prob always have a plan B--Babe's it is! Those crab spring rolls were the best I've had! The rest of the meal was fine but I didn't love it as much as I had anticipated, but thats just me, we have Thai often in Chicago and there are some really outstanding offerings here so I'm not the best judge of Babe's. Before anyone freaks out let me add I DO RECOMMEND BABE'S!
If you go there you will have a GREAT MEAL and you will enjoy it. Maybe I had my sights set to high based on so many rave reviews.
So one last time, Babe's good, just not MY favorite.
After a lovley meal we went to Deseo for a drink and to people watch. I like that bar for its concept but it can get expensive to drink there. We left after one and headed to the hotel for a jacuzzi before bed.
