Marina di Messa

Thursday night we arrived in Marina di Messa for a well-deserved beach break... or so we thought! Firstly we had travelled to the wrong station and ended up wlaking for 1 hour with our packs to find the hostel! We both coped well though and once we arrived ended up having a great night laxing out with pizza and wine. The next day it was raining! so we cruised into the busier part of the place and wandered the markets, found a supo and had some lunch. That afternoon we decided to check out the beach... talk about rubbish everwhere! and more than half the beaches you have to pay for...rows and rows of deck chairs are set up, some parts are owned by hotels etc. and in between are the little 'free' beaches. we found a spot that was actually quite nice and Niki went for a swim and reporte that the water was lovely. An annoying thing was that people selling handbags etc would harrass you while you were sunbathing! We stayed for 2 nights, it was cool being in a really small place, just unfortunate that the weather hadn't been better!
