Day 4 - The Beach

For the first time we all got some sleep so we had a lie in until about 9.

We went to the local supermarket called Monop which was a combination of mark's two names. Steve had his trademark pan au chocolate, Tim had croissants and Mark had bread the size of his head.


We sat at the harbour and fed the fish with our leftovers. Tim threw a big lump of mark's bread in which caused a big fish fight.

We went and got changed and then went to the beach. It was a sunny 26c, and we got a nice spot and then made some more space by throwing a ball around so that no one dared come near us.

We then went into the sea where there was a diving platform. Steve had his go pro, and funnily enough when we turned up all the girls left, they must have seen some of Steve's dodgy videos before.

It was good fun throwing ourselves in, obviously Tim pushed tommo in at one point, Mark wasn't surprised.

After we'd dried off, we went for a walk around the bay and found a nice park overlooking the sea. On the way there Tim and Steve had a Kebab which was awesome, that's one of tims holiday goals ticked off.

We followed that up with an ice cream and meandered back to the hotel. Steve had taken so many panorama photos that his new name is Panno.

After a quick change we caught a ferry to the other side of the bay. Mark was on standby in case we had to call the nurse for Steve.


The ferry landed at Socoa, a great little spot with jetskis, cliff diving, a fort and a fun little beach. We attempted to get some food but at 7pm none of the restaurants were open so we had some beers until they did.

It was mainly a seafood place and it's just the start of the tuna season so Tim and steve were in their element. They ordered a tuna each and they got fish but Tim wasn't entirely convinced that it was tuna. Half way into the meal it started raining so the waiter ran out and put brollies up to cover everyone but us and then told us we could move. How about telling us we can move before sorting all the brollies out?


After food we walked back to the other side of the bay, a 50 min walk that we did in 30. We found a warehouse type place that had been converted into a bar with lots of little food places inside, a bit like digbeth dining club, so we stopped by there for a couple. No matter where we stood however, this guy with a salmon coloured top would keep bumping into Steve.

As the night went on we went to a few more bars and then there was a big thunder storm which was pretty cool. The bars closed early again so we asked where would be open and was told about this one street that contained all of the late night bars. It turns out that there was just one bar on that street, so we went there as it would have been rude not to.

At the end of the night Tim lead us on our obligatory march around the town looking for a kebab shop. We'd seen two earlier but both were closed now, but that didn't put him off and we zig zagged around until the sun came up trying to find one.
