This was a lengthy drive of 327 miles but at least the roads
were beginning to improve. Isla Aguada
is an island that is reached by crossing a very long bridge. It is a beautiful tropical paradise reminiscent
of Gilligan’s Island except that Isla Aguada is not a set in a TV studio. Perhaps the prettiest place we have stayed so
far, it is a stereotypical tropical island complete with real palm trees and
white sandy beaches.
Due to John’s unfortunate encounter with the tope, he missed
the first night on Isla Aguada. Several
of us were standing on the beach when we saw him, followed by the Green Angels,
coming across the long bridge to the island.
On the second night we enjoyed a hamburger cook-out under a
large palapa overlooking the beach.
We cranked up our margarita machine and served frozen margaritas to
everyone before dinner.
At most of the parks in which we have camped, the power was
too bad to use safely (too many or too few volts). It was no exception at Freedom Shores RV Park. Nor was there Wi-Fi available as I had, once again, been led to
believe. Apparently it was just too much
for Thelma (park owner) to maintain after her husband’s death last year. I read an article from Truckcamper Magazine
in which an ex-pat living in Mexico remarked that Wi-Fi in RV parks was more
prevalent than in US RV parks. I’m not
sure what he was smoking when he said that but it is very far from the
truth. The lack of Wi-Fi has been a big
disappointment to me on this trip. The
repeater works well when there is a signal within line-of-site, but there aren’t
that many Wi-Fi signals around.
