Waking up at our beautiful hostel was such a treat! Gigi the cat started off sleeping with Bronwyn and made her way to me. She curled up with me more than any cat I have ever been around, she found any nook and cranny (I have more than I guess I hoped to have) and rolled up to find comfort in my chubby spots.

Today’s my birthday and Steve had told the girls to make sure to take us somewhere special.
Since we agreed to stay one more night our wonderful host had to change us to an apartment (an actual house but she used the term “apartment”). How I missed our Alice and Wonderland themed room and the move meant saying bye to Gigi, but it was wonderful!
My birthday lunch would be about three doors down at a beach bar. You could imagine it was probably crazy busy in Summer, for now it was busy with older European tourist. The table next to us had three German couples, one of the men came up to me, put his hand on my shoulder and said,” did I over hear it is your birthday?”. When I said ,”yes” he let out this full voiced baritone HAPPY BIRTHDAY song and the whole restaurant sang along! It actually brought tears to my eyes. Then the waiter as I was about to walk out the door when done caught me with a shot. Two shot glasses and a cheers , one for him and one for me. I’m never too interested in liquor and had no idea what I was consuming (great example for my girls, I know).... BUT it was fun!!!!
The girls devoured lunch with specially made French Fries, I had shrimp in garlic which might become my go to meal...yummy!!!!
All meals seem to last hours here, no complaints!!! About two hours later we started walking our circuit path that I think was about 3 hours. It was stunning! Not to be missed! The rocks at the beach were like pastel colored and simply beautiful.
In our “off road” detour yesterday we actually, unknowingly, covered about 20 minutes of this circuit route. Not the part on the water but from a distance I was able to get pictures of our “slides”from the night before.
We finished up with fresh squeezed orange juice back at our restaurant and then walked a good mile to a mini market in town.
The girls and I had a wonderful day together!
Images from our next door neighbors apartment, each room was special!
Since the circuit is just a loop that started and ended in our town we were able to venture out without our packs!
This was our beautiful walk!
