a weekend escape


After not seeing Cesar for about two months (due to travel and work), and as a celebration of Cesar's birthday, we decided to get away for the weekend with some friends. In many ways it was quite a contrast to our trip to Pui Puy this time last year where we camped out on the beach. This year we decided to see what the "VIP" version of the Caribbean coast would be like. Situated in the mountains/ rain forest/ beachy area in the state of Sucre, this is a unique way to appreciate Playa de Uva. The remote location was beautiful, but the attention we received (i.e. breakfast delivered to the cabin Sunday a.m.) completed the experience. We enjoyed the view of the beach and valley area from the cabins along the ridge of the mountains above. Despite the overcast, rainy weather due to some neighboring tropical storms, we still had a great time. We just missed seeing the sea turtles that nest all along the beaches by about a month and a half. Next time we will stay longer, make time to see the turtles, and of course check the weather first!

as always, more pics on facebook.
