• Trapini Day 4

Did also try to find a beach but both that we found, while being sand, swimming was prohibited. Again like much of the region, very steep hills that are quite barren. There was one we supposed to climb (the one with the fortress on it) but we passed. The trip back was interesting! Anne tells me this is called choppy - worth a small video.

Probably past its use by date?? Then had a look at the foreshore and nearly got blown away - but pretty. And finished the day with dinner in the old town. The weather today has been a bit cooler and less humid which is pleasant.Read more
