The water level had risen on this side road from yesterday due to the early morning storm so we had to leave the same way we arrived, by going around the block.Walking was the safest option until we reached firmer ground.
We really enjoy the times when the road almost touches the sea. Today the wind is coming over our left shoulder for most of the time and is fairly lively in strength.Approaching Carmen in the distance – there is a 4km road bridge we need to navigate first before entering the town.
To approach this bridge we had to turn into the wind (30+ kph) so it was time to walk again. The road lanes and shoulder were too narrow for us to risk riding because of the gusts of wind.An hour and ten minutes to walk/push our bikes 4 km reminded us very much of the road bridges over the Florida Keys – we would never be allowed to do this there!We are always fascinated by the local interpretations of art wherever we go.Some examples of colonial architecture in this town although it is not World Heritage site listed……
