I woke up early (surprise, nobody expected
this!). I took a shower and finally managed to wash my hair because it was thick.
There was a Carrefour shop with different foods and almost everything you might
need. Veni and I wanted to try as much as possible, so we bought 5 pastries and
some coffee. Of course, I could not resist and bought our son a fluffy rabbit;
he loves rabbits, so I think this will be his new favorite toy.
After buying the food, we went to the beach to
enjoy a calm breakfast with a great view. The water of the sea was not that
cold so Veni had this brilliant idea to go for a swim. I told him that I am not
participating in this, especially at 8:30 am so I went to have some more coffee
with the others. Veni came back happy and excited, he clearly had a good time,
and so did I enjoying my coffee.
We jumped on the bikes around 9:15 am and my
nightmare began. I have troubles with the turns and on a bike, it should not be
that bad but this morning it was more than awful. I thought I was going to pass
out on the bike and as soon as Veni stopped I tried to take a breath, my hands
were shaking and one of the guys told me I look very pale. After the break, I
felt better and they gave me something to drink, which I would like to believe
helped me. Later on after having some delicious food I felt better and the
dizziness was almost gone. We had a quick stop at a place, which name I do not
remember but it was a small one and everyone was smiling and very polite.
Our plan was to reach Porto that day, but we
could not because of the turns and the beautiful views that we stopped to
admire and take photos. We reached Calvi and decided to spend the night there.
We found this super sweet hotel with a swimming pool next to a lovely beach.
The weather was perfect to go to the beach and
so we did, but I refused to get in the water, instead I was writing in my
notebook for the blog because I forget quickly, especially when visiting some
many places in a short amount of time.
Veni had a great time, climbing on rocks,
swimming in the water, I got scared and worried for him a few times, because he
went missing, but since he grew up next to Danube River and swam in it I told
myself not to worry too much.
After the cold swimming session, we went for a
walk. Calvi is a big city, a very expensive one too, but so interesting and
beautiful. We grabbed some food to go and sat next to a monument to look at the
stunning view and eat in peace. Then we spent more than an hour walking, we
finished the night with a glass of whiskey next to the swimming pool.
Despite the dizziness , it was a very emotional
day, I liked it!
