After we had a little bite to eat we started scurrying around town looking for a place to sleep. One dead end after another, and almost breaking an antique telescope in one place. We were about ready to give up and just drive to another town that wasn't flooded with people, but decided to try talking to one more person, in what looked like a meat shop. He directed us to this little office front, Eliza went in and started talking, sat down and relaxed as he made some calls to his wife. Next thing we know his kids show up with their grandchildren and just start playing out front. It was sort of uncomfortable because we are tired, our car was parked illegally, and trying to figure out if we are going to stay or leave, and they really aren't paying attention to us, just enjoying each other. So we just waited...eventually the wife said, "Come with me." And led us to the most beautiful place we have ever stayed at. This was His gift to us. All just off the main square. She was warm and set up two more beds for the boys and encouraged us to relax. We said, "I think that this is a little bit out of our price range." She replied, "No problem. I will give you a deal on it." And with that we were off to relax and enjoy this beautiful place.
The steps to our place.
The lower kitchen, sort of medieval style.
The clever hidden kitchen cabinet.
Fresh cup of cappuccino, and some breakfast.
The rock throwing past time. The boys could have stayed down there forever.
This tunnel led to the other side of this cliff, where there was a sheer drop off into the sea. When standing at the end of the tunnel it felt as though we were one with the undulating waves. So amazing!! I wanted to jump in, but I was carrying one boy on my front and another on my back.
Apparently all the Italians around were trying to tell us that it was too dangerous to be in there. Sort of confusing the only danger I could see was the 6in. of water on the flat floor. Come on Italians, explore a little bit. Even though the beach was super popular, we and one other couple were the only people we ever saw go in there.
We have no idea who this man was, but every person was taking pictures next to him. So we did as well.
