Today it started off pretty nasty. There were dark clouds out as we headed out towards the patisserie in the morning. The rain started as we reached the bakery and by the time we had our croissants and kiesh it was pouring, thundering and lightening.
Despite our tiny umbrellas we came back wet and hung out reading in the lobby to give time to the cleaning staff to finish our room. When the clouds broke and it slowed to a slight sprinkle we took back off for a walk. I had a blister on my heel from all the walking yesterday and I kinda limped a bit. we walked all over, detoured up into the hills a bit, down to the shopping drag (a street that isn’t; like fremont in Vegas), saw an amazing pianists, angered a waitress, had a fantastic lunch (see strawberry dessert pic), and did some shopping. Oh, and stepped in a huge pile of dog crap left in the middle of the promenade. late in the afternoon the clouds broke and the sun came out. We went to the shore and waded in with our pants rolled up. A group of 6 or so tourists in their 50s were there and 4 stripped to their undies and went in (one bra-less, but that’s not uncommon here: and a reason why I took so few beach pics). We dried off a bit and on our way back started to comb the shore for beach glass. We found a bunch and got wet all over again. On our way back we realized dinner would be tricky as most restaurants closed by 6 as well as the grocery store. In the end, we had my birthday dinner at the hotel and enjoyed a bit of chocolate cake for dessert. we finished our packing, checked our flights and set our devices to charge and were in bed by 10:00. Tommorrow we have to get up at 4:15 to get to the airport in time for our morning flight home.
