The night before this trip i arranged a pick up which was confirmed and i was really excited as im a 64 year old woman, and this was such a blast, i cant tell you ....but when i walked out of the hotel, and waited for 30 mins, no yellow taxi no4 turned up. So i sent a message on Whatsapp, went back into the hotel, had a shower as it was really hot and changed into my swim wear. Then i got a message, 45 minutes late, saying the taxi had broken down but someone was outside to pick me up....so back up the road i went. The driver treated me like it was me who was late..barely spoke to me, and when we could see the quad tour off in the distance, he pointed at them like it was my fault we were not there already. When we got to the quad place, he gave me a helmet that was far too big, said 'gas....brake' pointing at the handle bars of the ATV and when i told him i hadnt been on one for at least 30 years, he said...'ok...slowly, slowly' and then proceeded to speed off at 50kmph onto a road with other traffic. I needed some time to get used to the bike, but he was so pissed at me being so slow, i just said i would climb on to his one so we could catch up to the rest of the group. He was quite a big guy, so i was just crushed onto the back, and during the hour long trip, during which he didnt even speak to me, he smoked 4 cigarettes which just wafted back into my face. When we arrived back after the tour...which, despite the photos, does not go onto the beach, has no stops to take photos, even when you pass a lagoon of flamingoes, and has lots of other traffic passing you, miraculously, yellow taxi No 4 was there, and despite the break down, all the other people on the tour knew the driver. It took 4 people off and i just had to work out that it would come back to pick up the other 4 of us, as not only did no one tell me the drill, no one spoke to me, looked at me, or even acknowledged my existence. I could not have been made to feel more unwelcome. It was really excited to ride a quad after such a long time, and this was just a really miserable experience. I wish i had just stayed by the pool.
We went around the beach for a bit and then on some back roads and main roads and stopped at a local cafe for a drink. The only sort of negative is that we didn't stop at any of the beautiful sights to take some pics but otherwise i enjoyed it. Don’t forget sunglasses and maybe a mask for the dirt roads.
