A Quad Ride to Cave Beach

On Friday 5 quads and three vehicles headed to Cave Beach for some fun in the sun...Cave Beach is a little cove just north of us, it takes about 45 minutes to get to by quad, approximately 15 mins along the highway travelling at almost 50 kilometers an hour (scary with all of the buses and trucks flying by) and the rest of the way off road through a couple of small villages and lots of jungle.

We stopped at a beautiful gate manned by two "security" guards, who let us through after payment of a couple of cervesa's each.  We then traveled down a very rough road, more pot holes then road and came upon a beautiful cove.

It had beautiful bluey-green water, lovely sand and amazing cliffs and trees surrounding it.






the guys immediately went in for a swim to wash the dust off from the ride





A bar-b-q, coolers, chairs, umbrellas and games were taken along to make sure we had a fun day!


Marilyn and Cathy played cajoney's or ladder golf with David and Craig as partners


David, David, Marilyn and me playing Bocci
 There were 17 of us in all but we only took a few pics of the games. We had two sets of Bocci going, while there was a game of cajoneys being played and others enjoying the sun, some in the shade and of course Herb was cooking!

About half way through our time at the beach this boat pulling a sled landed in "our" little cove and 1 boy and 6 girls embarked, minutes later a quad and a larger quad vehicle arrived  carrying 1 man and the other 5 boys.  It turns out it was a 16th birthday party for one of the boys.  They ate on the beach and then the boys all took off on the boat for some sledding and the girls left on the quads...




After a good lunch of hot dogs, chips and potato salad, we played some more games, floated in the water or sat in the shade until it was time to head home.
