Today we walked 19.6 km along the beach ๐. Our feet are hurting so much now ๐! Every day we spent at the beach, we wanted to know what was at the very end beyond the curve ๐ฌ! Daniela had to recover from diving today, so we decided to walk verrrrry slowly to the end of the visible section of the beach for us. We left around 10:30 am and really strolled ๐ฌ. After a while, we got something to drink and lay down in the sand ๐. Daniela actually fell asleep ๐. But she woke up after a few minutes ๐, so we could continue walking.
In between, we found seashells ๐ค. Then two older people approached us and two stray beach dogs ๐ were also lounging in the water. One of the dogs was lying in the shallow water and didn't care about anything. The man found it amusing and took a photo of the dog. The dog then jumped up and followed the man the whole time, and the other dog focused on his wife. Both of them were tackled by the dogs๐! Sure, I wouldn't have liked that either, but somehow it was all hilarious and I had to ๐laugh.
We kept turning around and saw that the people didn't mind the two dogs ๐.
It was time for another break for us. This time we sat down in a beach bar and treated ourselves to a fresh ๐coconut. Very tasty, I think I'm addicted to them. We also stocked up on water and continued walking. The low tide helped us save a lot. When we finally reached the last stretch and looked around the corner, we were a bit ๐disappointed. There were smaller rocks behind it, and we probably would have had to walk another 2 km to reach a wide beach again.
Well then, now it was time to go all the way back. I didn't think it would be that far ๐. Our feet were already hurting, but there was no point in complaining, we had to push through. The tide had also started rising, so we had to walk a bit higher in the deeper sand. That was even more exhausting. Then suddenly one of those ๐beach dogs came up to me, but apparently he didn't like me that much and ran away immediately. I was also about to dive into the sea, but luckily I saved myself from doing that ๐ฌ.
We kept looking at the time, because it gets dark here at 6:10 pm. It was already 5:26 pm and we could finally see our section of the beach. Phew, that gave us an extra boost. We could hardly believe that we actually made it before sunset. Hui, that was a violent march along the beach! We looked at each other and said, no, tomorrow we won't move a ๐๐meter!!!!!!
After a shower, we went out again and walked to the village. We were hungry ๐. The fact that my feet were still moving at all is a miracle ๐! When we arrived at our restaurant, we ate delicious food there. Then a chili ๐ถ smell wafted from the open kitchen and the entire restaurant had a coughing fit ๐. We hadn't experienced anything like that before ๐. Daniela said, I want to see that right away when the guy (who had ordered it super spiiiiicy) gets his food and eats it ๐! Well, what can I say, the idiot didn't faint from his chair, which was unusual! He turned beet red ๐๐. The embarrassing part: 'of course' a German! After dinner, we sneaked back to the hotel, we're so exhausted ๐!
Tomorrow we have another day at the beach and we booked an excursion for Friday!
PS: Daniela's diving post will be published tomorrow, it's not quite finished yet ๐ค!
Best regards from us ๐ฌ
