So, it has been a while since I posted but to be honest, we haven't done much! We spent the last few days lazing on the beach, reading books and stopping only to cool off in the sea or have a cool drink. Carlie had a bit of a stomach bug for a couple of days, but luckily she is mostly over that and it only kept her one day from the sand. We have been trying out different cafes along the beach, for breakfast and dinner, and we found one that was playing Bob Marley. I felt like we were in the Caribbean.

Yesterday we befriended two new guys. One was a German Dermatologist from Berlin, who told us about an amazing concert on the beach last night. It was northern Indian musicians with a singer from Israel. The music was beautiful and haunting, and we just sat and listened, on the sand, under the stars.

We also made friends with a professional guitarist named Alex, from Estonia, but living and working in Finland. We were eating dinner and he was playing with a couple of other people at the jam session they have Sunday nights at the cafe.

Traveling here you meet so many interesting people from all over the place. Some of them have been here before and some are novices like us. Some people look like they have been here for years. So far it is very much hippy central.

I am hoping to take a yoga class on the beach starting on Thursday, for five days. Then we will head off South to Vagator beach, and hopefully a bit of a younger crowd. By then i should be done reading The Mists of Avalon, my first read for the trip. I love having the time to just read, it's wonderful.

Big hugs to everyone,
xoxo
