in #travel7 years ago (edited)

Hey Steemit!

How is it going? Last night I slept great, from 00:30 a.m. till 08:20 a.m (which is quite long for my doing!). And when the sun entered my room I was woken up wonderfully. Now I am bursting of energy, so that is why I will be sporting soon! I feel like kayaking, snorkeling and swimming in general!

The sea is so amazing!

Breakfast

We started the day of with a very extensive breakfast. My sweet sister and mother got up early, and made plum pancakes with a sausage in it (One word; delicious!). This breakfast in combination with the sea view from our balcony, provides such a good way to start the day! It really feels like vacation!


Unfortunately the pancakes don't look as nice on this picture as they did in real life. But trust me, they tasted deliciously and smelled even better! If you ever woke up to the smell of fresh pancakes, then you know what I am talking about! In Italian you would say; "Bellissimo"

Crepes sono gustasa! (Pancakes are delicious!)

Doing some exercise!

The beach house we rented includes a small boat and 2 kayaks! That is why I will try to stay into shape by kayaking everyday! It is a great way to discover the island, and have some exercise at the same time. In addition it also offers an amazing view, as you can look upon the sea and the city centre from the water.

I visited the city centre with my mini-yacht (kayak, hahaha...)!

Kayaking

Today I made a small kayaking trip from our beach house to the city centre, to get use to the kayak. The trip was approximately 1,5 km, which took me roughly 15 minutes. This may not sound long, but kayaking is very exhausting (you guys might know this if you ever kayaked before.)! Tomorrow I will try to kayak further, I guess I will be going the other way to check out the other beaches of the island!

Hopefully I can double this performance tomorrow! (The gps is not so accurate... hahaha)

Doing some groceries

At around 05:30 p.m. I went with my father back to the city centre, were we did some groceries. We took the buggy to carry all of it, hahaha. So this buggy comes in handy after all (if you have read one of my previous blogs you know I pushed my brother through the Alps in it!).

Convenient buggy, huh?!

Evening program (Basically eating ice cream)

Our evening program was quite straight forward! We had an amazing self cooked diner (A self-made pasta filled with eggplant, other vegetables, minced meat and a spicy sausage!), and afterwards we visited the city centre for a delicious Italian ice cream.

And as you see, my little brother also fancies a soda, hahaha!

Plans for tomorrow

Tomorrow we will be kayaking most of the day to break some personal records (this will be the 2nd time kayaking in my life, hahaha, so it won't be too hard!). Afterwards we might visit the city centre of Porto Santo Stefano or do some fishing! Anyhow, I will let you guys know tomorrow!
