Long day on the seas! I got up quite early this morning to prepare for a day of yachting. My hotel was the first on the pick-up route, so I was already enroute before 7 am. After a long drive we arrived at the pier and set sail around 8.30.

It was a beautiful big yacht that was designed so you could relax on the deck, lying down, while we sailed. And we sailed a lot! It was almost ten hours of sailing all together.

During the day we stopped at two islands with lovely beaches, and at one of them there was a steep climb to a viewing platform with stellar views of the beach, and a lagoon on the other side. Quite a workout in that heat but definitely worth it.

During the afternoon we also had a great lunch on the boat. And on the way back we saw the sunset of course! I think I will get my fair share of sunset action on this trip, not to mention sailing.. and sailing!

The drive back to the hotel was looong, especially with traffic, but I eventually made it back and had a nice dinner.Read more
