    The next morning, I headed out to the beach. I saw a hen with its chicks and the usual dogs. I was quite surprised to see a lot of tiny dots as the beach was at its low tide. As I moved closer, the tiny dots seemed to stir as well. They happened to be thousands of soldier crabs, they disappeared just as fast as they appear. Sensing the vibrations from my footsteps, they reacted accordingly. As I explored to beach, there were plenty more aquatic creatures such as cucumbers and starfish. I went to take a dip, which was so refreshing in the morning. Some fishermen were also trying to catch some fish. Nino appeared soon after a while, playing some music from his speakers and also playing the guitar as I continued to swim around. I later went back to Nino's place and we played some games on his Switch, we especially had fun playing Smash Brothers. After an hour or so, we packed up our things and got ready for the long trip back, but not after a photo. On the way back, we stopped by McDonald's for a late lunch. Dropped Frida off her hostel, and I was dropped at my place. I got home still quite tired and sleepy and retired pretty early that day.Read more
