After fulfilling our alcohol & andrenalin needs in Leon we decided to head back to the beach for a bit of a breather. Only 30 minutes away was a beautiful beach town called Las Penitas where relaxation, sun & surf would undoubtedly ensue.......right! After answering the age old question "how do you fit 4 people & 4 rucksacks into a car that comes with a McDonalds happy meal?"* we arrived at the beach. We promptly checked into small hostel with beautiful shared bamboo villa's & whilst the girls talked about boys (probably) the boys had a game of pool (talked about girls). After a quick change we headed to the beach, which was good as the sea appeared to be about 3 miles from it, & took it in turns to sunbathe & swim. As we were enjoying our favourite pastime of goofing around in the waves, the peace was shattered by a scene from Jaws (not the one with Michael Caine). Pete dashed from the water with blood gushing from his foot! His early prognosis of being bitten by a crab turned out to be innaccurate as he had in fact been stabbed by a stingray. After being told that Steve Irwin jokes were not helping we promptly got him some medical advice from the local barman & fortunately both he & his male pride survived! Thoughts of a surfing paradise dashed, we had a cocktail, watched a beautiful sunset & then had a massive fish supper (take that aquatic life!) & made plans for our departure.
* we were looking for "take off their hats!"
