We get a lancha back to Pana anda wander the streets in the heat to find somewhere to stay and end up at Posada Vinas del Lago which overlooks the lake and is 100Q for a private bathroom room and tv.

Then out to wander this town which is quite big and pretty touristy with stalls of tourist tat, restaurants and bars and then further up the older town with church and main square. More people are in local dress here including men in blankets as skirts or embroidered short trousers.

It is nice to have power again and we have another Asian lunch and do internet before Dave goes for a #1 haircut (yes you read correctly) for less than $1. I am strangely getting used to his convict style hair or lack of.

Back to the hotel we sit on the balcony overlooking the lake and read and then drink some red wine (healthy eating includes drinking red wine) as the sun sets behind the mountain in front of us. We head down to the lake shore for more photos watching the last lanchas of the day heading to the villages around.

Have dinner by the lake before watching Boston Legal in bed, it is dangerously close to becoming a programme we could get hooked on.
