We woke up early to get to catch our tour to the tunnels. Unfortunately, the tour was canceled due to strong waves and because boats were having difficulty getting permits (May Day). According to the forecast, the waves were looking like they would not be better for awhile.
We decided to get breakfast at the market and think about what to do instead of the tour. I got a bolon de yuka and a batido de melón (melon milkshake). Afterwards, we walked over to Concha de Perla and rented snorkeling equipment. The water was a little too murky to see anything, but it was still fun to swim around. There were lots of sea lions and marine iguanas laying around Concha de Perla and the nearby beach. A guy was sleeping next to one. They seemed to have no fear of humans.
Next we decided to rent bikes and bike down a path that is known for its scenic views. It also leads to the Wall of Tears (El Muro de las Lágrimas). We biked for about three hours. We saw many tortoises, birds, crabs and marine iguanas.
Afterwards, we decided to get some tropical drinks at a bar on the beach for happy hour. Next, we went and got dinner at a place that had the best lemonade and some pretty good food. After getting dinner, we went back to the bar on the beach and mingled with some fellow travelers and hung out on hammocks. It started to rain while we were there so we decided to go to the bar next door (it was an indoor bar). There was some pretty interested music there that made us laugh.
