Day 25 - After a pretty restless night due to the afore mentioned issues, we wearily headed for breakfast at the restaurant. Average breakfast at inflated prices. Plan for the day was to walk up the beach as far as town so we suncreamed up and headed off.
It was already extremely hot despite it being only 09:45 but one saving grace was walking in the surf to cool the feet. We looked for somewhere to get a bottle of water but basically on the beach is all you have is resort after resort and only a couple of bars so to speak. After about an hour or so we made it to town and it was roasting hot. Absolutely nothing to do in town so we headed back down to the beach to find some shade. Alice sat in the shade whilst I decided it was time for a dip in the sea so headed in and blooming lovely it was too. One issue on this side of the island is jellyfish and its hard to find a section without any. The resort we were outside had a large net to keep them out but unfortunately they don't have that at ours.
Heading back along the beach, we stopped at Rory's for lunch (toasted sandwiches for a change) before plodding back to our hotel. All in all it was a lovely walk but with one casualty, Alice's feet have got burnt! Whilst walking we were debating whether to pay up and go to the resort next door as they would not be able to hear music along the beach. I also e-mailed one of the swanky resorts further along the beach but they couldn't do just a room only rate. We couldn't bring ourselves to do it so have decided to stay put and judging by the prices for some of the places along the beach we have got a good deal.
Settling back in at the hotel we were plucking up the courage to go for a swim but dipping our legs in the water and seeing jellyfish didn't make it pleasurable so we hopped out, read our books and soaked up the sun. This was after lying in the surf for a bit and getting sand absolutely everywhere, with loads even getting stuck in my shorts somehow. Was hosing them down for 20 minutes to get the sand out and broke the sink in the process.
About 16:30 we headed along the beach to take in the sunset at one of the bars/restaurants and again another amazing sunset. Loads of people swimming still and also a couple of lads just chilling in the surf with a couple of beers which amused quite a few people. After sunset we strolled along the beach to May's restaurant and had a lovely dinner right by the sea. We strolled back to our hotel and settled in for what would hopefully be a quieter night!
All in all a chilled out day but did quite a bit of exercise strolling the beach.
