Got off to a slow start this morning and after lounging around on the patio a group of four of us walked over to the local beach. Had the two English guys (Anthony & Jaime) and the Dutch guy I met yesterday (Sonders). Stopped at this little crepe place on the say and had the most amaying crepe for breakfast/lunch. It was filled with cold vanilla ice cream, the perfect contrast to the freshly made crepe.

Most of the beaches here just consist of small rocks and no sand but we got used to it pretty quick. Had a nice relaxing afternoon on the crowded beach before heading over to a nearby cafe for a late lunch. I had heard there were a bunch of places along the coastline here where you can find a small cliff and jump into the water below and the rumors had been confirmed after walking along the coastline with Sonders yesterday. We were just lounging out at the cafe when Jaime saw from far away across the bay what appeared to be some guy jumping off a cliff into this little cove below. We kept an eye on it for a bit and saw

a few more people doing it so we headed over after settling the bill.

The place was fantastic. It was only about 20-25 feet high but was still fun nonetheless. We all went pretty quickly except for Jaime ha. Ended up turning into a pretty crazy episode. It had been just the four of us till this group of 12 year old croatian boys and their "girlfriends" showed up. The kids were so cool ha. They were like monkey climbing the trees to get higher jumps into the water. It wasn't even that high but the one British guy Jaime was a bit scared I guess and took about an hour and a half to do it and the little kids were making fun of him so much. "Are you man or are you boy?" they kept asking him haha, making chicken sounds at him and everything. Jaime was losing it and started yelling at these poor little kids. Was absolutely hilarious.

Spent the evening grilling out with everyone out on the patio before heading back into the Old Town to go to a few bars. The place was infested with Brits on their summer vacation which was
