Day 2

Can't go on without mentioning dinner last night - whole fish - Dorado baked in salt - the salt forms a cask around the fish to cook in it's own juices - delicious!

Up early today - 6am for a departure of 6:45am - coffee stop at Bakery and then a nice stroll over to the harbour for reflections shooting and some opportunity to start playing with our macro lenses.

The harbour was super calm so the reflections were stunning. As the sun rose we noticed opportunities to get shadows of people walking by on the softly lit stone walls.

Once the sun was up we took cover in the stone walls shooting flowers, stone walls coloured with mottled paint, rusting hinges, people walking by and cats.

Just as the heat was starting to hit it was time to break for breakfast on the patio - cold cuts and cheese were part of the servings this time.

We had 5 hours off today to explore, organize our latest photo shoot and see how we are doing with all the info given during the shooting.  In the afternoon we joined the locals and swam in the cool, green waters off the promenade - the sailing yachts made a beautiful background to this sea side scene. On our way back to our rooms we stopped for an Americano coffee and fresh apple turnover!

Tonight, before dinner, we are shooting across the water/harbour to capture the lights of the boats, restaurants and townscape. Early morning and evening temperatures have been perfect for shooting.
