| In common with many Mexican sites, this one is small with
spaces for only about 8 units. But they are full service and there are
showers and flush toilets. Sadly the hot water wasn't working but it doesn't
really matter so much here as the water is never very cold and a cool shower
is a relief. |  |

The view looking in from the beach. You can just see us slightly to the left
of centre. Pity about the chain link fence but we did have a key to the
gate. |
| Here we found another camper. This is a top of the
range German Hymermobil (about 150k euros). They had shipped it on a ro-ro
from Hamburg to Buenos Aires in 2007 and were working their way north to
Alaska. No slideouts but a very organised cellar. Shipping cost them about
1200 euros for the camper and slightly more each for their own berths on
board.
And we thought we were adventurous! |  |

The view looking north. |  |

We walked north along the empty beach and found a small inland lagoon which
is topped up with salt water at each high tide. There were several species
of birds and each seemed to favour a different tree. |
|
Apart from those who preferred a rock. |  |
 |
All seems peaceful with a definite pecking order as they wait for supper to
arrive with the turn of the tide. |
| Then we got a bit too close and all hell broke loose! |  |
| We weren't totally alone on the beach. This guy turned
up walking his dog, and his horse too. |  |
 |
We found 3 dead fish on the beach, 2 puffer fish and this one. I don't know
what it is but it has a very formidable beak. If you sat very quietly then
the crabs would come out to investigate. |
| Lo de Marcos is a small holiday town, with a well kept
central square with band stand. This is maybe quite busy in the season, but
this year, and this late, it was dead. |  |
 |
One of the problems in small places out of season is that it gets difficult
to find an open restaurant. However we had an excellent meal here. One
interesting note is that if you want a receipt, they charge you 15% tax.
Otherwise..... |
