Pure relaxation with slight dangers

01/11/2024

Phew... that was a warm night. We got up at around 10 a.m. and discovered that accommodation without air conditioning was a real challenge. We do have a fan, but it's just a drop in the ocean and also very loud.

After yesterday's dinner, which was a bit too small, we looked for a restaurant to have breakfast. Our landlady of the “simple house” beamed at us from a restaurant on the street. So we went to her place and ordered freshly squeezed orange juice and quesadillas with avocado. Delicious!!

Strengthened, we went to the beach and lay down in a partially shaded spot to escape the midday sun for a bit. However, since it was so hot that even cooling off in the sea didn't help, we went to a beach bar for a cool coconut and a refreshing banana shake. We thought it would be appropriate to cool off in the clear sea once more before letting the sun char us. Unfortunately, Nina in particular underestimated the strength of the sun today... she made a mistake with the light sea breeze.

At 4 p.m. we were back at the accommodation and tried to acclimatize somehow - which we only succeeded slightly. The heat is slowly making us stupid and we're eating a lot of rubbish in the meantime. And come up with ideas like: spraying water into the wind of the fan to experience a cool breeze. Necessity is the mother of invention.

After we both talked to our friends on the phone, it was time for dinner again. Massaman Curry. Again good!

In addition to the sun, the squeaking sea and the mosquitoes, another danger for us here is our toilet door, which has to be locked with a bolt. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to move and Ronja cut her finger again. Immediately treated, everything ok!

We are now lying in bed smeared with aloevera gel and enjoying the air from the fan. Good night.
