Time to move on...

After a week on the beach at Samara, it´s time to move on - volcanoes, hiking and beef next.
This has to rank as one of the top ten beaches we have visited and definitely one to come back to. While we have had some great fish and seafood here I´m looking forward to some red meat when we get up to our next destination. The lodge is based around a working cattle farm and serve their own beef and dairy products in the restaurant.
Apparently just as hot there - highs of 35C and not much below 22C at night - so we will probably miss the sea and the pool, but hopefully we will get to hike to the crater of the volcano and even try the hot springs.
Must bring the netbook with me next time - everywhere offers free wireless access and relying on internet centres has introduced a whole new level of frustration!! I am sure Skype is a great way for people to stay in touch but I am not really interested in the mundane, petty and usually inane conversation which is always so loud that you can hear them across the road. Makes it hard to concentrate and destroys that inner peace that we all strive so hard to find!
