the ice and a club sandwich for $5.....bang! The rain has stopped and the sun is back out so another dip in the ocean is calling. Ok so I've spent a whole day here and it's a ghost town. The low season may not be the only reason people are not here. There is a stench that I can only describe as rotting eggs thick in the air. I remember reading something in lonely planet about the area being rich in natural gas and it appears here there and everywhere. It also mentioned to stay in a certain part of the beach to avoid it. Clearly I'm in the wrong part of the beach and should have taken note of that shit. It's almost unbearable and I would bet on it being a health hazard, I actually feel dizzy. I gambled on a pizza down the road, you can't fuck up a pizza right? WRONG. The 'meat' is grey and it doesn't taste like pizza. I got it to takeaway which is a phrase they are unaware of here. He put it in a used plastic bag! Needless to say I'm glad I bought those water crackers earlier. After my pizza experience (which i filed under bin) I decided I needed a drink so I stopped at the wierd supermarcado and picked up a bottle of Havana club rum for the grand price of $4. I dodged 48 skanky cats on the way back to the hotel, they are everywhere.
