2 weeks have almost passed and i'm most definitely settled back into the island living lifestyle.
Of course there are the positive and negatives of living on and island which is what this blog post is about.
Negatives: I'm the type of person who always wants the bad news first, just so i can get it out of the way, so we'll start with these negative points. Not that there's many!
1: Food. There are crazy amounts of food and drink that just don't exsist on an island of this size and all things Costa is most definitely one of them. It's only been two weeks but a caramel latté cooler sounds like heaven right now and maybe even a meal from Café Tirreno.
2. Online shopping. This is just a disadvantage because post takes SO long to get here, it's so mad. Things from Boohoo can be here within two days but and online shopping order from Amazon can take over a week but i guess it's not a massive deal in the grand scheme of things.
The positives however come in large amounts.
The view. No matter what time of day it is or what part of the island you're on there's always a beautiful view of the sea or a beach and it just brightens up your day.
The people. I have a lot of family down here who i don't get to see that often so coming down is always lovely as it means catch ups are most definitely needed. It's good to see friends as well, of course.
The beach. So it's kind of impossible not to mention the beaches here as they are so wonderfully beautiful; white sand and bright blue seas just make up the beauty of this place.
The hidden gems. It's also nice to just be somewhere were a lot of people have not been before and it's nice to know where all the hidden gems of the place are like, where the best view of the sunset is and where the least windy beach is to get the best tan. It's just nice to know the secrets of the island!
So that was the positives and negatives of island life. Hope you're all enjoying your summer!
See you next week if not before.
