There were no plans for the day so we were just going to take it easy and stay around the beach. We needed to get more wine and maybe more food if we didn’t come up with a way to get to the restaurants. Turns out it was market day in town and Lorenzo our host said he would take us.

We grab a few bags and Margaret, Kelle, Jeff and I headed out. Turns out the market was mainly clothes and household goods. We did find a cheese vendor and a fruit stand so we got some staples but still needed bread and meat. We were also able to get napkins so we could replace the roll of toilet paper we had been using.

When Lorenzo picked us up we asked to stop at the store. The grocery store in Massa Lubrense is tiny. Think 7/11 but with a maze of shelves. You go one way through from front door to checkout. There are a few dead ends you have to back track out of but for the most part you just follow the person in front of you to get to the end. We bought a bit more prosciutto and pancetta, more eggs and a bunch of bread and wine. We basically clean them out of both wine and bread. The wine is cheap at Conads and our bills are surprisingly low.

We get back to the apartment and changed into our swimming suits to check out the water. It is quite a few steps (79) to be exact to get down to the rocky beach. The water was cold and hard to walk into due to all the rocks. I got in far enough to sit down and cover my hips but that is as far as I went.

The villa had a hot tub but it was taking forever to warm up and was not going to be worth it today. We hung out at the beach for a little while. Clark was the only one who really got in and he still managed not to get his hair wet.

We eventually dried off enough to take the stairs back up and lay out on the terrace. Some of us napped others just lounged but it was an enjoyable day of being lazy.

We cooked dinner from the food we got that morning. I made a very cheesey version of cacio de pepe. It was not the best but it was good and used the ingredients we had.

It was another lovely sunset.

It was a nice day just to lounge. I think you need a few of these worked into a vacation especially if the vacation is 3 weeks long.
