Vi startede dagen stille og roligt uden de store planer. Vi endte med at køre mod en strand, der skulle være fladere og børnevenlig på den anden side af Piombino. Her landede vi omkring 12 og tænkte ‘yes’ - det her ser godt ud. Det viste sig dog hurtigt at de mange ledige liggestole ikke kunne lejes, da de allerede var solgt for sæsonen til lokale italienere. Lidt fjollet koncept med tomme stole, der ikke må bruges, men sådan er systemet nu en gang. Vi tog i stedet et lille bord i strandbaren, hvor vi havde alle vores ting og resten af eftermiddagen lavade flydende udskiftninger fra bar til vand :-) I mangel af bedre fungerede det nu ret godt og vi har nok været dagens bedste kunder! Georg nåede ferierekorden med 4 is for dagen, mens Naja klarede 3...
Der var smukt klart vand med den fineste sandbund, men der var en del blæst og derfor var bølgerne mere Vesterhavsagtige. Men pga det lave vand var det en perfekt kombination til sikkert at lege i bølgerne - også uden redningsvest. Foruden vandsjov fik vi også lavet et stort sandslot med broer, bølgebrydende osv. Der kunne være gemt et par små bygningsingeniører, da de havde ret godt styr på hvad der skulle til.
På vej tilbage prøvede vi en restaurant, ikke langt fra campingpladsen, mere inde i landet. Efter endnu en god madoplevelse kom vi retur og gik relativt tidligt til køjs. Man kan blive dejligt træt af havluft og vand i mere end 6 timer, selvom vi er ved at være i træning.
We started the day with no major plans and ended up driving towards a beach on the other side of Piombino, which was supposed to be flatter and more child-friendly. We arrived around noon and thought, "Yes, this looks good." However, it quickly turned out that the many empty sun loungers couldn't be rented because they had already been sold for the season to local Italians. It was a silly concept with empty chairs that couldn't be used, but that's how the system works. Instead, we took a small table at the beach bar, where we had all our belongings, and the rest of the afternoon involved fluid transitions between the bar and the water. In the absence of better options, it actually worked quite well, and we were probably the day's best customers! Georg set a record for the holiday with 4 ice creams for the day, while Naja managed 3...
The water was beautifully clear with the finest sandy bottom, but it was quite windy, making the waves more reminiscent of the North Sea. However, due to the shallow water, it was a perfect combination for safely playing in the waves, even without a life vest. In addition to water fun, we also built a large sandcastle with bridges and breakwaters. We might have hidden a couple of small building engineers because they knew exactly what they were doing.
On our way back, we tried a restaurant not far from the campsite, further inland. After another enjoyable dining experience, we returned and went to bed relatively early. You can get pleasantly tired from being in the sea air and water for more than 6 hours, even though we're getting used to it.
