The Peanuts News: Boa Vista Touareg day 2

We both surfaced at around 07.00 after a very good sleep. Today's busy agenda started with breakfast in the main restaurant, followed by a long walk on the beach, heading east. At that time there was still some cloud cover but this faded away as the day warmed up. We took many photos and videos of the beach and the waves. Undoubtedly this is one of the best beaches we have seen anywhere in the world.

We settled on a pair of sun loungers in amongst the palm trees on the beach, which provided just the right balance of sun and shade for us. Listened to relaxing music. Read some of our books. Went up to the pool for a dip to cool off. Consumed cold beverages. Went to the poolside restaurant for lunch, which we chose to be a build-it-yourself hamburger. Returned to the sun loungers on the beach for more of the same as the morning. We finished the day's activities with another swim in the pools, during which I demonstrated conclusively that the reason why I swim like a brick is that my body tends to sink in water, whereas most people's bodies tend to float. What can I say, I'm just a dense guy!

Showered and changed for supper, which was in the Cabo Verde themed restaurant with a large assortment of local favourite dishes. Unsurprisingly, seafood featured prominently in the dishes on offer. I tried octopus stew for the first time, which was unlike anything I have ever eaten before. Nice and tasty with a bit of a burn. I enjoyed it, but not the sort of thing that I would go back to for a second serving.

We plan to spend tomorrow doing much the same as today, but probably based on the loungers beside the pools rather than the beach. But now it's time for bed.

Enjoy the photos.
