    Bike maintenance and a whale

    November 17, 2019 in Mexico ⋅ 🌧 19 °C

    We got up early in order to see some baby turtles get released at the sanctuary. However, it started raining heavily, so we decided to better stay at home and have breakfast. The electricity had gone off as well. But luckily, the stove runs on propane, so we could cook and boil water for coffee made in a French press.
    After breakfast, it cleared up, so we went for a walk along the beach with Donna and her dog Zoe. Back at the house, we did some maintenance on the bikes. As we could use the garage, we stayed dry even in unstable weather conditions.
    The rest of the day, it rained a lot. So we spent most of it on the porch, getting spoilt with food and drinks to regain energy after a long period of biking every day. We even saw a whale making his way up North, jumping out of the water every 100m or so. Whale watching from the porch - not bad!
    In the evening, the power came back as well. We were all quite happy. As the water pump needs electricity, we didn't have running water. (During the day we managed by using the rain water out of the pond 😊)
