The view as we walked along the waterfront towards the hill.

Jess was a star this morning and got up at 6am to go and meet Shona at the port. When the rest of us woke up she was in our apartment having a snooze. We got up and ready, luckily there was a 24 hour bakery around the corner for our late breakfast. After consulting a travel guide and a suggestion from other friends, we decided to head up the hill for a scenic view of the city. I wasn't the keenest on this idea- it was hot and I didn't have walking shoes on.

A short while later (10 mins) after leaving our hostel I mentioned that I wasn't really interested in the view. Dee whole heartedly agreed with me and we headed back to the apartment, got our swimming stuff together and went to the beach where we had a drink at yesterday evening. This was a much better idea. The water was beautiful. A while later, Jess and Shona joined us (they gave up, the path they followed was the wrong one) and Andy kept going because he is persistent and was determined to make it to the top of the hill for the view.

A square we walked past on the way to the hill.
great swim and laying about we went back to the apartment and showered and then went for an evening walk around town and had dinner.

To end the night, we went back to the beach bars and had a few cocktails- what more could we ask for??
