This morning we went for a long walk to try and find the sandy beach on the other side of the marina. On the way there we went past hundreds of boats and yachts parked at the port. Along the shore there were heaps of fish to be seen. Tom's excitement grew and grew with every fish that he saw. After walking for about 40 mins we didn't find the sandy beach, which I think was still further, but we did find a nice big empty playground and a multitude of little green lizards. Kids played on the playground, we sat around in the sun, then in the shade (both of us adults are getting pretty sunburned). And then we headed back.
Back at the apartment Tom had his nap and Tim and I went for ice cream by the beach. We watched a local guy fix his sports fishing boat. While he was at it another two older local dudes arrived and conversed in Croatian about what seemed to be advice on how to fix whatever he was doing. In the end the guy got frustrated and gave up and went with the others for what looked like a beer. Tim and I bought some postcards and then went the sea road back and annoyed a few crabs on our way. They kept hiding in the rocks, so we tried to fish them out without any success.
After Tom got up we went riding on a little tourist train that is effectively a bunch of cute carriages being pulled by a tractor. Tom absolutely loved it. Tim got bored after about 5 mins and then started playing a game on the camera that he got for his birthday. It made me think that he's hitting teenage years. After that we went past home to get buckets and went more stone and crab fishing and then for yummy fish dinner. At dinner a little cat came and kept us company under the table. Tim kept trying to interact with it and in the end fed it a piece of fish.
It wasn't such a good day in terms of toilet training as Tom kept forgetting to tell us he needed to go and we kept walking around with little plastic bags of wet Tom washing. We got home fairly late and after putting the kids to bed, we did a load of washing, reminisced about the day and how the kids are growing and changing, and then finished watching the last episode of the House of Cards. The last season really did pick up in the second half. The final two episodes were just brilliant. Can't wait for Season 5!
