So, we turned right at the lighthouse onto the new road that had been built just 4 months ago right through the mangroves. Dean hit the mangroves pretty hard, and with this new road, I wonder if they'll ever come back.
Approaching town.
There was some sort of magic show in town, but we didn't get a chance to check it out.
More shots of downtown later. For now, we were anxious to get to our hotel,
Balamku Inn. Balamku is 5.7 kilometers south of town, so we drove on through.
The road to Balamku and a spattering of other hotels. **Note: If you drive to Balamku, the ocean should be on your left side. We forgot to take a pic, so this was taken on our return from Balamku.
Balamku was everything we had hoped for -- a tranquil and secluded spot on the beach with breezy, comfortable rooms.
Our room was on the top floor of this building.
