Noah's Ark 😊

Today would normally have been our departure from the island, but plans changed in the best possible way.

Ursula is still determined to conquer her 1,000-piece “Noah’s Ark” jigsaw puzzle, which has now become a mission of pride and persistence. So we made the tough decision to extend our stay until Monday.

Of course, that’s only part of the story. Our attempt to rent out our unit for next week fell through — and honestly, why rush home when the island is treating us so well? Staying a few extra days felt like the smartest (and most enjoyable) choice.

This morning was absolutely gorgeous: clear skies, soft breezes, and that warm, gentle sunlight that makes you want to be outside as long as possible. I decided to take advantage of it and head out for a long walk along the beach.

My path took me once again around the lighthouse point, but this time I continued farther, all the way to Grandma Dot’s Restaurant, before looping back to the condo.

The walk took just about an hour, giving me plenty of time to enjoy the scenery — and to snap the photos you see in this post. It was the perfect way to start an unexpected bonus day on this beautiful island.Lue lisää
