OK, so I got to a beach. After 8 days I thought it wasn't too soon. The beach is Macqueripe on the northwest coast. It was taken over and developed by US servicemen in WW2 when they pretty much took over that corner of the island for a navy base. It's just a bit run down now but it was beautiful to me. We hiked through the rainforest to get there; a bit of a climb over the ridge. We heard howler monkeys in the distance. That is a spooky sound. It would frighten me at night. Then again I wouldn't want to be out in the jungle at night anyway. My companions are Josh from Michigan and Fidel, son of Charlie Pinder, leader of Highlanders. You guess which is which.
From on top of the ridge we could se dolphins jumping in the bay. My camera could never catch that.
