Yesterday Steve and I decided to rent a motorbike and go to the beach, which is a few kilometres from the city centre. Unbenknowest to us, most people apparently go left when they get to the fork in the road where the beach begins, but we decided to go right. After going past some resorts and a "dodgy" stretch of land (as the Brits would say), we found an empty mile of beach before the resorts started up again.
No doubt in five or ten years the entire strip will be taken up by resorts, but for now it is a beautiful, untrafficked beach. We were literally the only people on the beach for a kilometre either way until a few travelers we had met just before parked themselves a couple hundred metres down from us. There were mountainous islands on the horizon that made for an absolutely beautiful view. Unfortunately it was so nice we stayed there too long and got sun burnt, so yesterday aftenroon and today we're staying out of the sun. I'll post pictures later when I get the chance.
