It was a perfect, sunny and warm day in Monterroso! Michael and I had breakfast and fresh juice on the veranda this morning. Already by 9am it was hot! We decided to be less ambitious than we had planned and spend the day at the beach rather than going for a hike. So literally, we spent the entire day at the beach!! And a small word of advice, really cheap Italian sunscreen is really cheap for a reason. I deduced that it is actually just all the remnants of hotel shampoo relabled and bottled. On the plus side, my giant bright red mosquito bites aren't as noticeable anymore and my skin has a nice glossy shine to it.
After a long day in the sun, we showered and decided to go for an early evening hike up to a mausoleum that is perched on the cliffs. The walk was short (thankfully) and absolutely beautiful. It was amazing to see all the differences of a town built into a cliff, such as vertically grown crops and basketball courts with a panoramic views of the ocean.
We finished the day with a fresh seafood pasta dinner and, of course, more gelato :)
Ha ha, you might be on to something with the sunscreen. Gorgeous, beautiful, inspiring!
