We are awake around 9 and I have slept pretty well. I shower and head for breakfast. It is eggs if course but the owner who is super lovely organises me a none egg version. I ask about a bed for the night but there isn’t any so I book a guest house nearby only to get a message saying its cancelled. Deysha and I eat outside then we pack up our things and store them so we can go the beach. Jasmine and Stephen have got sunbeds and there are two behind that we can use but Deysha is worried about sunstroke so wants to sit inside. I pay for the beds myself and use it to dry my wet clothes off after my swim. Deysha heads to a cafe and I alternate between swimming and chilling then I join Drysha to get on the wifi and have an orange juice. Deysha goes back for another swim and I confirm that I don’t have a place to sleep tonight but Jasmine has already offered their sofa so I ask if I can take them up on that offer.
They grab Deysha from the water and we head to the
place we tried to get into last night. The fried seafood is amazing and Deysha goes to get her bags then heads for her bus to Berat. Jasmine feels really light headed so she and Stephen head back too the air bnb. I go to the hostel, collect my stuff then once I am near where they are staying I message and Stephen comes to get me. I put all my bags in then head back out for another swim. They are staying to cool in the a/c a bit longer. I swim then update this then Stephen suggests a walk so I dry off and we head for a walk towards old town. We take pictures if some statues, the mosque and the old town which really is very small and clearly has had money invested in it, making it look unauthentic. It is pretty though and we stop to have a drink before heading back watching a modelling photoshoot in the bar next to us.
By the time we get back Jasmine has revived so Stephen and I shower and change and we head out for a cocktail. We order blue hawaiians and pina coladas and take
pictures in the egg chair and of the sunsets. We head to an Italian for dinner as Jasmine fancies pasta but the ravioli we both order is amazing but nowhere near enough. We walk down the beach and Jasmine buys a Nutella crepe and Stephen and I share a Nutella canolli. Jasmine wants to walk to the fun fair as she has been resting all day but Stephen and I are on 30000 steps so not keen, especially when we walked past it today and know it is rubbish. Jasmine is tired anyway so we head back too the air bnb and all go to sleep.
