It\u2019s HOT! We decided to stay put at the campground and get a walk in before the heat really kicked in. At 9:30 we headed out, following a beautiful path through the trees and along the clifftops, with views over the little coves and the Atlantic Ocean, which was incredibly calm today. Every so often we\u2019d come across old bunkers scattered along the coastline. Even that early, the heat was already building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At one point we had to step aside to let a couple of girls on horses pass. We stepped well out of the way. Both of us are very wary of horses, always expecting them to casually throw in a little kick as they go by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we neared the beach we\u2019d planned to walk down to, the sight below changed our minds. Scattered along the beachfront were ghastly high-rises. Not quite Surfers Paradise large, but big enough to completely take away from the wild, natural feel of the coastline. It was probably just as well, as by then it was becoming seriously hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the way back we crossed paths with the horses again, only this time on a narrow section of track. Nope! not getting that close to a horse. So we backtracked until we found a clearing where we could step safely off the path and let them pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1.5 hours later, we got back to camp a hot and sweaty mess. And the pool doesn\u2019t open until 2pm! Thankfully we are parked in a shady spot and we have our faithful awning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At 2pm, we went to the pool and found a comfortable lounger in the shade, and a slight breeze to keep us cool. This pool area is so beautiful, and feels like being in a 5 star resort, and at only 25 eruos ($50) is seems like a bargain. So we spent the afternoon lounging, reading our books and dipping in the pool to keep cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As it\u2019s Friday night, the camp restaurant was open and we decided to eat out. And my favourite was on the menu. Confit de canard (sorry Donny). So we both ordered the same and it was delicious. Not sure we plan to leave this place anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
