We got off the ferry and into the back of a small, enclosed van for a mildly whiplash inducing ride up and down hills and around curves until we abruptly stopped in front of the resort. I was disoriented, and it was hard to tell what kind of place this was where we'd landed. I couldn't see the sea at first, but then we stepped through onto the balcony and.... ahhhh. Paradise.
They thought of everything. There was a beach volleyball net, and they even had a basket of sand toys. You want a beach towel? Just ask one of the numerous guys in pink polo shirts. You want to go kayaking? They can get you a kayak, too.
Why, yes, yes we do want to kayak.
In the morning, our complimentary breakfast was served right on the beach, complete with lovely breeze and carefully tilted umbrellas to give us enough shade. Homemade bread with pineapple or watermelon, scrambled eggs, and tea or coffee. Yum.
By the time we finally took this vacation, I was feeling so stifled and homesick in our neighborhood of skyscrapers. Getting out and finding this safe and comfortable place to just enjoy and relax with my family meant the world. It was so rejuvenating and such a blessing. I wish we could've stayed an extra day... Sigh.
Beautiful times. Cherish these days. :)
