Day 8 - Bike Ride to Punta Uva

After waking up and having coffee in the house we rented bicycles from the guy who lives next door and rode to Punta Uva. When renting a bicycle make sure that the tires are well inflated, chain is greased, and ask if someone will pick you up if there is a problem with the bike. It was a nice ride that took about 30 minutes. Most of the road is in the shade and is mostly paved with a few stretches of gravel. We went to the postcard perfect beaches east of Punta Uva (look for the Arrecife sign and turn left). It was really windy and also high tide so there wasnt much beach to lay on. My wife went in to take a swim and bashed her chin on an underwater rock. It was bleeding but nothing too serious. This put a damper on the rest of our beach time there so after hanging out for another hour or so we road our bikes back to the house.

That night we decided to go for some Mexican food at the Lizard King. We ordered chips and guacamole, tacos, and enchiladas. The chips and guacamole took a loooong time to arrive (30 minutes) and then we didn't get our main courses for another 20 minutes after that. The food was all really tasty but I wouldn't recommend it based on the slow service.
