Sunday in Eindhoven
Sunday: slept in, had a small breakfast and just chilled.

... smaller islands off the coast, tried a spot of sea-kayaking and visited the mangrove forest and fishing villages on the quieter side of the island. But no. We slept and swam in the pool and swam in the sea and read our books and indulged ourselves with regular massages and drank cold beers and walked around a bit from cove to cove and had lots of tasty meals... and that was about it. A week of pure, luxurious lazing.
