October 8 A Day at the Beach





We awoke to the sounds of a rooster crowing and the motors of fishing boats on the bay. The sun was shining through the sunroof and we were both excited about spending another day at the beach.

After breakfast we walked to the local market and bought some fresh fruit and vegetables. Then we donned our bathing suits and spent the rest of the day on the beach. We did return to the van for lunch but then, after a fresh coat of sunscreen, it was back to the beach...all of 10 meters away! What a spectacular day...swimming, sunning, watching fishing boats, sailboats and just admiring the beautiful Tyrrhenian Sea.

We decided to treat ourselves to dinner at the campsite's ristorante. The meal was excellent and very reasonably priced. Since seafood is the local food here, I tried pasta with seafood (crayfish, shrimp, conch and octopus...delicious).
