Definitely a change in weather from the hot temperatures. Rain sometimes heavy on and off. This morning we did a walk around several areas of the town. Lots of small quaint wooden houses tucked into sometimes tiny places. To some degree there are similarities with St. John's, Newfoundland. We hid in doorways and under awnings during some of the downpours which seem to come with almost no warning.

We booked an afternoon sailing on a catamaran. It was a 3 hour trip and because it was a catamaran we covered a lot of distance. There are many small villages and farms hanging on the hillsides as well as a few larger settlements. Some very pretty waterfalls. Somewhat like going through the Gulf Islands except the rock faces were taller. At times the boat passes only 5-6 feet from the rock faces even at speed.

Dinner tonight was pizza with salad and beer - $ 80. The food in restaurants is very expensive.
