Our schedule for today was mostly a rest day with some sampling of the nearby beaches. However due to the fact that we missed on the bioluminescent tour at the beginning of the trip we decide to change our plan and go in the evening to a tour in a nearby bioluminescent bay in La Parguera.
But first things first …we have to eat breakfast and the buffet is good especially as it seems like we are the only people in the hotel. It is also the only place where the Wifi connection works for us so we use the time in the restaurant area to catch up on news and emails.
After breakfast we dress down for the beach and take the trail from the hotel to the beach.
It passes a part of the Cabo Rojo National Wildlife Refuge with a few lakes and quite a few trails that crisscross the area.
As we explore the area we find a large frog that seems to be content to be photographed from all directions and is not in the least interested in us.
Of course there are also birds, quite a few ducks, including White-cheeked Pintails, some black necked stilts and a great egret but they are more shy and seem to move further away as soon as they spot us.
The Playa Combate beach is beautiful and very quiet with only one more couple on a stretch of sand that seems to extend for miles. After finding a secluded spot we relax for a couple hours before returning back to the hotel.
