Woke up all rejuvenated by our good night's sleep, we rented bikes and cycled out of town on roads that meandered along the coast in search of secluded beach spots to swim and relax for the afternoon. We admired the coastal view, the turquoise blue sea water, so clear that we could see the fish and rocks beneath it. The water glistened under the scorching mid-day sun and an hour later, we decided to seek refuge from the heat in a beach-side bar. Sipping our Croatian beer, we squirmed as we watch the Europeans tan like rotisserie chickens. Ouch.
After our short break, we continued our cycle along the coast and enjoyed the cool breeze on our faces. The ride to our designated lunch spot was enjoyable as we passed through a park with our fellow cyclists. We free-wheeled downhill like 5 year olds and enjoyed a lovely lunch under the shade of some pine trees. The cafe was packed with other holidayers and music was proving to be less than enjoyable so we continued on with our cycle after we satisfied our tummies.
Turns out there was a nice sandy spot not far from the cafe and fortunately for us, was not overrun with tourists (yet). There were pockets of family parked under shady trees and couples perched on rocks sunbathing.
We found a comfortable spot and headed straight for the inviting water. The water was surprisingly cold despite the heat in the air and the rocky beach was also proving to be testing for Jess' balancing abilities. Nevertheless, we made the best of it and frolicked in the water.
We bid the picturesque setting farewell, cycled back to Old Town and rewarded our weary bodies with some fresh fish, red wine and cocktails.
how about an index of labels?
ReplyDeleteI'd like to suggest a new label: Food :-)
