Us girls decide that we need some relaxation. And where better to relax? The beach!
The train ride is only about an hour maybe an hour and a half, so off we go.
Now of course once we get there, we do not have a map or even slightly know where to go. I see these four Italian kids with towels in hand and I offer up to Missy Jessica and Hannah that we should just follow them. And thats just what we did. We were a bit creepy... stalker-ish even. But we got to the beach! Once at the beach we still had I idea where to go. A lot of it is private beach so you have to pay to sit there, but we aren't sure where to pay or where the public beach is. So we just sit on some of the chairs and get comfortable. Then of course, we knew it was coming sometime, a man comes over and asks if we have our ticket. We don't. We ask him where we could pay or how much it is. And he gives us no real answer so we just pick our stuff up and walk a little ways down the beach. At this place we see no signs saying we can not lay there, and we see other beach goers tanning out on their towels. So we come to the conclusion that this is a good spot to stop. Yet, once again, right after we get comfy some guy comes over and tells us (in Italian) that we can not sit there. Again, we grab our stuff and walk down the beach. No one is being very helpful, we aren't being rude or even bothering anyone we just want to lay out, read, take a nap maybe and swim. But you can not do those activities at this beach! Hehe. We finally find the public section of the beach. I mean no one wanted to tell us how much the chairs were on the private beach section so here we are. A tiny little postage stamp section of this huge 5.5 mile beach. But really we don't care by this point. Just let us lay our stuff down and not get kicked off. :]
After a while, we all decide it's far to hot to lay there any longer and run out into the water. We're swimming around for a while and all then Missy comes up to me with a panicked look on her face. She looks like she's seen a ghost, or maybe a jelly fish? Yeah apparently one was right next to her when she looked down and she said that she got out of the water as quick as she could. After she calmed down a little we started joking about who would have had to pee on her, had she gotten stung. (Friends anyone?) But with that we decide to go walk along the pier. The view is gorgeous. I can't believe you can see the mountains while standing on the beach. It's just amazing. So we stop at the end of the pier and are just hanging out and talking and then we see these two little Italian boys jumping off the side into the water. So we walk closer to them (like a stalker I'm taking pictures, the were just SO cute!) they couldn't have been older than ten or eleven. And we see them lock arms and then count down from three before running and leaping off the pier. Missy and I are both cracking up and then look at each other like if you do I will! So we kick off our flip-flops and hand my camera to one of the boys and jump off into the water. Of course I didn't hold my nose and saltwater goes rushing into my brain. Along with my top being a little disoriented. But it was so much fun! And the boy got a picture of us jumping off the edge! We climb out and doing it twice more. Talk with the boys and their older brother (i think) for a few minutes and then head off down the pier to where are towels are laid out to tell Jessica and Hannah all about our random adventure!
