We would have rented bicycles to ride around the island, but they don't have any, so we rented a moped instead. Michael was a bit leary at first, but he did just fine! There are mostly motorcycles & mopeds on the narrow roads, but this is not a crowded island. The road goes around the perimeter, about 18km. We enjoyed the ride and stopped for lunch at a secluded place on the beach- el Divino Nino. We were the only ones there, but she fired up her wood stove and cooked a feast of lobster, crab, shrimp, conch and fish---$15.00 for the 2 of us! We're getting used to the big numbers in the exchange rate. Our lunch was $35,000.(pesos) We get the max out of the ATM- $300,000 pesos, and it's around $165.00. Since we got back at 12:30 and had the moped for the whole day, I took it out for more exploring on a few loop roads that we hadn't been on. We plan on raising anchor late afternoon for a night run to our next reef system, Albuquerque Cay, about 85mi away.
