Another relaxed morning, eating fresh fruit and enjoying our own place. Even at 9:30am it was super hot though!
We walked down the hill to old town and walked around a bit in the morning, the high point for me was finding this cool little smoothie bar. I enjoyed a delicious pear, berries, and banana smoothie with soy milk. It was off the chain, and nice and cool in the hot sun.
After exploring a bit in the old town, we walked back to our place to cook lunch. I stir-fried some onions, zucchini, and chicken with rice and we had quite a feast while enjoying the shade.
In the afternoon, Rachel and I headed out to one of the further away beaches and met up with a sea kayaking tour guide and went out for the "wine and cheese tour" of the nearby island.
It was a decent walk to the beach, almost an hour, and then we hung out for a while before setting out in the kayaks around 4pm. It was still ridiculously hot, but much cooler once we were on the water.
We kayaked around for a while, then landed on a nearby island where we found some shade, and busted out the wine and bread (and cheese and olives for the others). Then we walked around the island, enjoying the nature (including a pretty inland lake and some peacocks). Then we got back in our kayaks and paddled around for a while before landing on the shore at 7:30.
It was a nice workout! And after climbing the million stairs to get back up the mountain to where we are staying, we felt we had totally earned our evening cokes/beers. Of course we cooked some dinner too, and watched the soccer game (Netherlands getting killed by Russia 3-1 in overtime, but they were outplayed the whole game).
Relaxing evening, more reading of trashy novels, and just kicking it in our own little apartment. We love it here!
