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.
