I wake really early this morning and im really not feeling too good. Im in agony with my back and i feel really naseous. I decide to get up and go downstairs rather than wake Mark, but 20 minutes later he joins me downstairs. The breakfast is really good but to be honest the last thing i feel like doing is eating. I have a little bread and a coffee so at least i have somethong in my stomach to take some pain killers. We ask about getting some washing done and they say they can have it back to us in 40 minutes ....really??? I tell him theres no rush and we will be gone a few hours down the beach. We get our bag together and decide to walk to find a cash point first. We make our way towards centro walking along streets lined with beautiful coloniol buildings. We find the bank along the main road, here they have all the banks in the same road so i can usually find one that works with my card within walking distance. We cross the dual carriageway to the other side where theres a memorial. The walkway takes us down to a beach where there are lots if people working, either bringing fish in on little rafts laden with nets or seperating the fish into seperate baskets and weighing them ready for selling. The problem is the nets also bring in a lot of rubbish which is literally just dumped on the beach, its shocking how much rubbish is actually floating round out there. We walk back to the road to make our way to the "clean" beach and as we walk along the port wall it is totally covered with artistic graffiti. We hit the beach and after grabbing a couple of chairs and an umberella we head straight for the sea to cool off. It is so hot but the sea here is beautifully warm and clear a massive difference from the one around the corner. We spend a few hours just relaxing as we have to get a bus out of here tonight. At 3 we walk up to a small bar on the front and have a bite to eat before making our way to the hostel. I still feel really rough and they let me take a shower and lie down on the huge sofa. I drift off in a few minutes and Mark wakes me 3 hrs later so we can catch a cab. Still feeling off colour i pull myself together and we hail a cab. Mark has a bite to eat but i give ot a miss and we board the bus to Salvador.Read more
