Janet said I forgot to mention that thursday night (last night in this trip report) was the night that we decided to venture out and check out the area around catcha.
we decide to walk to ltu and have a drink, but they are closing. we walk on past and get about 100 yards, it is dark, and looks deserted. we have our flashlights, not worried. The police pass by and then come to a stop. when we get up to the car, they start asking where we are going, etc. Just looking around. Well, it is not very safe for visitors to walk around at night, we suggest try checking it out in the daylight. So that ends our night on the town. another sign of the cliffs not for me...always a beer within walking distance on the beach...so we get back behind the gates at catcha and head to the room. after a likkle while, Janet goes to sleep, but I need a smoke, so I check out the views at night...walking by the pool area from the hammock, the security guard startles me. He also suggests I check the place out in the morning so I wouldnt fall, or anything. I insist that I am fine, and gonna enjoy the view, and my smoke, from right here. He finally leaves, I finish and head to bed. I know both the cops and the security were only looking out for me, but at that point I was getting aggrivated. I was far from drunk, very much in control of myself, and wanted to enjoy the amenities near my room.

dont get me wrong, both were very nice and were not causing problems, so I guess I am just saying that I was bored...I think if 3-4 folks were hanging at the bar while we were there, heck even 1-2, it would have been a different feel.
