Carrillo – Ostional - 51 kilometres ^31
A paved road continued to the touristy beach of Samara. Again, a sign indicated to
turn left but this time we first checked with villagers and, as anticipated, were told
to go right.
Not long after departing Samara, the paved section again vanished and turned into
a dirt track. Still, the day turned out considerably more effortless and, although
rough, it had none of the severe hills of the previous day.
Our route led past numerous beaches, one more idyllic than the other, and tiny
Ostional seemed an excellent place to call it a day. Unfortunately, it rained
throughout the night, making me fear it would again turn our way into a mud bath.
