I managed to sneak away for two days again so I could be closer to the beach. And it was a dream!

I don’t know to explain this, but the moment I stepped out of the ship, I felt like I could breathe again. The air was different, salty and even if it was hotter, it was exactly what I needed. In a blink of an eye I forgot everything and really relaxed and just observed the beautiful scenery. I hadn’t visited that place before, but you can drop me at any island and I will be happy. As long I watch the sea, feel the sun on my skin and listen the waves against the shore.

But the highlight of my trip was the cave! 

There I am swimming, searching for the cave that draws so much attention. It’s opening is big enough, but the darkness terrifies me. As closer as I swim my eyes don’t adjust to the darkness. I hear the water and it’s like murmuring which makes me want to swim deeper inside the cave and explore it.

So I do and as enter the cave, my foot hit on some rock that was bigger than I expected. Not that I had actually seen it! A ray of light cast some light and the water takes a shade of bright blue. It’s amazing.

The rocky ceiling is way too close, but the deeper I get the bigger the cave becomes and I feel like I’m swimming in the belly of some monster. I swim to the shore, because there is actually a small beach inside the cave.

I didn't want to leave, but when I did I walked on some rocks that created a path to the other side. The water splashed my feet and I actually felt like walking on water. Once I reached to the other side, I squeezed myself to the small opening and ascended the three stony steps.

And I was outside on the rocks where I had left my towel.

I don’t need to tell you that I jumped into the water again and hurried my way back to that cave. It was something that I wanted to keep in mind for as long as I could.
