We began the day with the breakfast buffet and then a walk North from the hotel. Since our hotel is situated at the North end of the beach, the walk is along the elevated rocky edge of the water, more reminiscent of the Oregon coast. Along this route we found fishers fishing and others just lounging, one guy even doing a crossword out on the rocks.
We returned for lunch, and walked South along the beach in the afternoon, then later in the afternoon, we applied good quantities of sunblock and hit the beach ourselves. The sand is warm, but the water wasn't as warm as we expected. You can still get in and stay in, in fact, looking around, you'd think it was very warm. It was nice to lay out on our towels and dry off. The weather here is usually overcast, so there's not an abundance of sun to toast you right away.
After showering and taking a perhaps ill-advised nap (not quite adjusting), we went out for dinner. We didn't listen to our subconsciouses, which told us to avoid places where we never saw anyone else eating. The place we sat at failed to impress in more ways that one. First, Misty asked for a Ginger Ale, or 7-up, or Sprite. The waitress came back and said they were out of those, and then too
k our food order. She then came back a short while later and told us that although they were out of 7-up, we would have to order something from the bar in order to eat there (can't go with no drink), so we ended up (not) splitting a coke. The food itself left a lot to be desired. We tried a little fish variety plate, which was turned out to be different that expected, with some not-so-great sauces. The cured ham and melon was half good, that is, the melon was fantastic, but the meat tasted funny (that place in Venice had the cured ham and melon down). The spaghetti bolognaise was ok, but just not that appealing, especially to me on my stomach.
We grabbed some ice cream at a nearby spot and then headed back. On the way, we saw this hilarious sign for a Mexican restaurant that we will have to try.
