This post is about New Year’s Eve day. We took a taxi this morning over to another town called Canoa, on the other side of the bay — that’s three beaches in three days! This one was just as great — bath water with waves!

As soon as I saw this thing glide over the beach, I knew I had to have a go, and it was great. I took my iPhone up with me, planning to take some shots from above, but I couldn’t take both hands off the bars at the same time, and I was afraid to try it one-handed in case I dropped the phone!

We did fly pretty close to the cliffs at one point — I think that might the “scare the gringos” idea, but I managed to stay calm and enjoy the moment — kind of!

Why build a sandcastle when you can build a giant portrait of Bob Marley?!

My quick impression of the beach. Those are the cliffs we flew by in the glider.

The evening of New Year’s Eve was something else — see Part 2!
