The heat, the pouring rain, and a mosquito who defied all attempts at squashing him added up to a lousy night's sleep. I was up at dawn to break down and pack my sopping wet gear. The road was pretty flat so by noon I had already done 75 kilometers - could have been a big mileage day but the beaches just looked too enticing to skip. When I reached Playa Dominical around 1:30 I stopped at a beach-side hostel that has camping under a roof for 6 dollars a night. I set up the tent and spread out my gear to dry then went straight to the beach for a swim. This is a good place to crash, I'm going to take a rest day tomorrow and enjoy the tropical beach.
