| At Ballena beach on our way north from Golfito |
We were up at 7. Still no running water so we used mineral water to wash hands and face. After a nice breakfast of fresh fruits, eggs and bread and jam, we said goodbye to Esther and Kai, and took the boat from
Golfo Dulce back to
Golfito. We had to wade through the water to go aboard and got our shoes soaked.
At Golfito we got cash from Banco Nacional before an easy drive to Playa Dominical on the Pacific coast. We stopped at
Marino Ballena, a stony beach famous for whales but didn't see one. We did see monkeys though.

| Our room at Villas Rio Mar |
We found
Villas Rio Mar at Playa Dominical and got our room by the pool, which was very pleasant for an afternoon swim. The hotel is used as a conference centre. Pretty but not so friendly as smaller places. We had lunch and dinner there. I found a man cleaning his teeth in the ladies' toilets!
