A day at the beach in La Barra
... seemed to be shut and some bungalows beside the beach. It was a nice place to spend a relaxing couple of nights but at first I thought it was a shame that we only had one full day at the beach. However, with hindsight perhaps this was just as well considering that I turned a brilliant lobster red after only two hours on the beach. I spent the evening nursing my blistering skin over a bottle of vino tinto and a home-cooked ...
Pouring in Piriapolis
... a hill, which overlooks the whole town.

Great just great, we were lost! I sat down in the shade and let Tom wander down another street and by some stroke ...
Last Day Spent in Heaven . . .
... Again, I feel so lucky to be on this journey.
After my walk on the beaches it was time for lunch. I just went for a big bucket of ice cream instead. When I returned to the hotel it was a bit cool, but the sun was shining. I decided to just relax on one of the lounge chairs. And then the owner appeared with a cold glass of water with fresh lime slices. How did he know that is exactly what I needed? Another staff ...
