Today we actually managed to top yesterday - even fewer people, clearer water, whiter sand, only a 20-minute bus ride away. However, what is generally annoying - as I mentioned before - is the way people handle waste. Because even on this remote beach, there are plastic bottles or bags here and there. If you talk to a local about environmental issues, they passionately claim that they strictly separate waste and that recycling is a great thing. Candida even showed me which bin to throw the plastic waste in. However, all types of waste end up in it. Carla, her daughter, told me the same thing, but it's not true either. Maybe a translation error...
However, everyone sweeps in front of their house daily, including the street, very early in the morning. I know this because I sometimes go for a little run at 6.00 a.m. Small piles of garbage are left on the street at short intervals. Every day. Everyone just drops their garbage along the way. I don't know where the piles disappear to, but they are gone later in the morning. And afterwards, the sidewalk is scrubbed with a lot of water.
Tomorrow is Candida's birthday. I just bought a small cake, but not one of those brightly colored, overly sugary ones. There is a foreign bakery nearby. They have Banana cake with chocolate chips and nuts, for example. I hope she doesn't have a nut allergy.
Temperature 30 degrees, slightly cloudy and windy.
