Finally finding the beaches like Hawaii???

Today we woke up determined to find the beach. So, we asked the manager where we were staying for directions, and decided to just walk until we found it and he also said that we would love it and it is one of the nicest beaches. We packed light, as we knew it would be quite a walk and planned to find a nice little restaurant to camp out in once we got there. After about a 45-minute walk in the baking sun and leaving civilisation completely we found it! It was nothing like we imagined it to be. We heard many reports that it was gorgeous and had loads of palm trees we could sit under, but as soon as we got there, it seemed that all of these had been sadly chopped down. So the sand was pretty much covered in logs to climb over and there wasn’t anywhere we could see to stop for a quick drink, which sucked, as we brought no water. We decided to walk for a while to see if we would come across one, but no, nothing at all there so we found a different route to walk back along the road praying we would come across a shop soon. No, was the answer.

A refreshing drink/ice-cream treat after a stupidly long walk!

So after about 2 hours of walking we made it back into town and downed as much fluid as our bodies could take and although we were wearing sun cream we were burned and a little dizzy from the heat. Also, just to prove how hot it was, when we got back we jumped straight into the shower and my bikini bottoms elastic had melted and stuck to my skin! Later, after it had cooled down a bit, Jess and I took a walk around town for an hour or two leaving Chris back at the hotel as he wasn’t feeling great to check out flights before going back to the riverside restaurant for some tasty seafood in the evening.
