Clay was feeling a little rough from his sunburn, so he decided he didn't want to do another day on the beach. Rachel and I then headed to the market to buy picnic food and water and then get on with the adventure.
The market was great- we bought a rotisserie chicken, a loaf of nice bread, cherries, and peaches. Perfect for a day at the beach! Plus a few liters of water since we heard there is nothing along the way and we didn't want to be lost and dehydrated.
The hike to the beach was amazing- the views of the ocean were gorgeous and it was a relaxing way to spend an hour and a half. Since it was nearly 11pm by the time we finished at the market, it was the heat of the day, so we slathered on the sunscreen and sweated our way to the ocean.
When we arrived, we were spent. We decided to take a break in the cafe by the ocean and eat our delicious lunch (chicken on bread with fruit on the side). We were stuffed, but cooled off and relaxed.
For the next few hours we read, swam, and enjoyed the beautiful weather. It was really hot though, so the jumping in the ocean part was key to keeping cool!
In the late afternoon, as we were leaving, a few Croatian friends we'd met in Budapest met us at the beach and we hung out with them for another couple of hours before calling it in and going in search of a shower and some dinner.
Maybe some soccer later tonight, but the sun just wears us out. Probably more reading in bed with a glass of wine, which, although lame sounding, is kind of nice.
