Hiking to the thermal cove, I spotted these flowers from a distance and thought they were fake.
Today was a rare cloudy day for us, with a few tiny spots of rain as well. So it wasn’t exactly a beach day, but we made the best of it.
What to do? Take a crowded bus across the island, then climb our way down to a cove with a hot spring right at the edge of the sea. And squeeze into the right little spot with all the other would-be bathers trying to warm up.
Then catch a water taxi to the stunning town of Sant’Angelo for a slow seafood lunch and find a great reading spot overlooking the sea.
