Leaving Iihabela at 9 we rode to the ferry and back onto the main land,and followed the coast road then head for the mountains it is a fantastic ride with many twist, and snake bends, we were suppose to see some amazing views but had cloud cover, so we zipped back down the mountain and back onto the coastal road.We stop for lunch at a little cafe,and make our destination about 3pm it is stinking hot and the humility is 100% so Vic and jump into the pool and have a couple of cool ales, before we head out to have dinner.
This place is amazing it is an old colonial town founded in 1531 we walk a couple of blocks and cross the river and hobbled over the cobble stones to dinner.
Back to the hotel we are stuffed and went to bed about 9pm but we could not sleep due to the invasion of mozzies,they were dive bombing us all night, no insect repellent in the room.Not happy Jan
I am suffering from bites from the sand flies or "can't seem ums "my legs are just full of bites
Friday is our rest day so after breakfast we head back to the old town, it is early as the tourist busses have not arrived, so all of us pile into a horse drawn carriage and do the town in style.
We have tasted a lot of the local wine and even bought corn licor, so we will be having that tonight.
This town looks the same as it did in the 1600&1700,it has cobble stone street and no motorized vehicles are aloud ,only horse and cart,when they have a king tide all the streets are flooded there are lots of little cafes and souvenir shops it is really a great town.
We bought some fly spray today so we may have a better sleep.
