DAY 4: PARTY TIME IN PARADISE


...The guys are finished their first 3 days of preparation and back to the hotel ready for the beach...


It appears as though it will be a very intense schedule for them but nice to know that when the weekend arrives, I can have some time to enjoy Francois` company.

Farther along the shore from our hotel beach is a place where they routinely go on weekends where the kabobs and fries are good, the beer is cold and plentiful and the service spectacular.







It was fun chatting and watching the locals enjoy the many activities. 


Being this close to the equator means almost equal hours of daylight and night so sundown comes early - around 18:30 - and the sun sets really quickly.  Francois captured a few good shots before dark..





With dark upon us we headed back to the hotel, back down the beach,through the gate bidding goodnight to the gatekeeper, along the lit path...


The hotel and grounds are so beautifully lit at night it was difficult going back to the room without taking a few more shots..
