On the way to Skei I stopped at this cute little beach - its far too cold for me to brave the waters to swim but I did put my flip flops on and walked around in the water a bit. Brrrrr. But the water is so clean and cle Read on...
Mama, can I have a salted cod fritter with oozy cheese for breakfast? Instinctually I grimaced, with a reflexive, no. Then I remembered that while on vacation, one should be more lenient.

We decided to take it easy this morning and leisurely got ready for the day. We skipped breakfast at the hotel and instead decided to have an earlier lunch. This turned out to be a good thing, because Caf Pasquals is quite popular and our wait time was an hour. We used this time to do some shopping. Went to a great chile store next door and bought three different types of red chile. Then we walked Read on...
