Day 99

Jen and I woke up around 11:30ish, showered, packed and were on our way into town. We stopped at the main desk of the hotel to ask for directions to the beach, then started walking to the bus station. On our way, we stopped for croissants and then frozen yogurt for breakfast/lunch. It was  longer walk than we expected and we had to ask a few more people where to go but eventually we got to the bus stop right outside the Parliament and took the 45 minute busride towards the beach. We weren't sure where to get off, so we followed some of the people wearing swimsuits off at the first beach we saw. It was beautiful! Since I had applied sunscreen before leaving, I took my dress off and ran towards the water. It was cold so I only got halfway in. I returned to Jen and put sunscreen on her back then it was her turn to go in the water. She went all the way under. When she came back, I went back in and went under. We laid in the sun for a bit, reading, listening to music, and warding off the most obnoxious sales people ever. I went back in the water one more time, for about 20 minutes. After 3 hours at the beach, we were ready to eat. We caught the bus back to the Parliament and rode for 45 minutes, realizing how hungry we really were. We started walking the way back to the hotel and found a cute little restaurant, i Gusti. I was starving, so I wasn't going to take any chances and order something I might not like, so I got a chicken sandwich, and even ate it with the tomatoes. For dessert, Jen and I split the most delicious thing on the face of the planet: a chocolate filled cookie crumble crepe. I could eat only those for the rest of my life... sooo good. When we finished, we walked back to our hotel, noting all the shops and food places to stop at tomorrow on our shopping day. Back at the hotel, we showered to get the sand and salt water off of us and uploaded pictures and videos. I got to skype Matt, who will be running in the marathon tomorrow. Then, Jen and I watched episodes of Doctor Who while craving cupcakes.
