Lunch and Dinner

I was headed back to the hostel to put on suntan lotion and my bathing suit when I decided I should get some real food. I found a restaurant that had mussels as the plat of the day and decided to go for it.



The host, location and food was amazing. I wish that I could have bottled the smell for you. It took me a while, but I finished all of it, even took advantage of the free dessert.

I spent sometime cooling off at the hostel(it really gets hot here) and then decided to go for a dip. I really did not want to go back to the beach, plus it was far away and I would have to take a bus (no more money please). So I went in search for the spot I saw on the ferry, by the harbor where locals were swimming. I made my way there easily and was only hit on twice.



I found a little spot and and brought my bag onto the rocks. I slowly entered the water since it was a bit cool. I realized that there were little crabs crawling around on the rocks that were filled with seaweed/moss and mussels. I got real nervous that I would step on one and get pinched. Fortunately, this did not happen. I made it to the water slowly and enjoyed the cool water in the heat. There were some boys with nets trying to catch something. I saw a couple of cute fish when I first entered the water and was not sure if the nets were for the fish or crabs.

I stayed out for a bit and then headed back to the rocks to dry off. I had a beautiful view and enjoyed the warm. I headed back to the hostel and met up with Kylie and Gabor for dinner. Despite being told about the fish, we got a salad, steak and gnocchi. After all of my seafood and the fact that the mussels had not greens I was the one who got the salad. It was okay, but the company was great.
