Aesel, Ali og vandsport
... vi et stykke ud af byen, til en lille landsby hvor der ligger et par mere fancy strandhoteller. Vi valgte et aesel som transportmiddel, desvaerre begyndte det at regne halvvejs og vi var fuldstaendigt gennembloedte da vi kom frem. Det gjorde lidt ondt at ride paa aesel, og Sandra har nu to kaempe aabne saar paa numsen. Da vi kom frem var vi lidt skuffede, for det var ikke rigtigt strandvejr.
