San Pedro

The ones who have seen the movie 'The Beach' probably will understand what feeling I will am about to describe. Firstly, me, Toni, Malte and Marina went to jump off the cliffs that are taller than most of the buildings here :D. The video to be uploaded soon.

The next thing we did - we went to San Pedro, which, ladies and gentlemen, is a spectacular beach which is very well hidden, so not many people know about it. You can reach it by walking (it takes approximately 30 minutes) or you can go there by boat. Of course we, being very fit young and healthy (all non smokers, non drinkers:D) hit the road! 

As we get closer to San Pedro, signs indicate us where to find the beach

 In the picture bellow you can see the board of rules of San Pedro. It came as bit of a surprise to me once I've read what's written on the lower part of the blue board! It's says 'Senoves ismintis byloja: gerbk gamta ir nesik, kur valgai' in Lithuanian language which means 'Respect the nature and do not poo where you eat'. Lithuanians are everywhere, but really,they are everywhere!!!!
What is even more surprising, on our way to San Pedro, Toni and Malte found a little agenda, which obviously belonged to some Lithuanian person. Most of the records in the agenda are in Russian, but they are really strange, including some Spanish, English words. During dinner that night we investigated this odd book a little bit, but most of the secrets remain unsolved...:)

Marina, which I call the Mermaid, because she is!

Finally reached San Pedro

The entrance to San Pedro, a few more minutes and we're there!

San Pedro is a magical place because there's nothing but the sea and mountains. It's quiet, peaceful and very beautiful. Lots of hippies live here on the beach, which is an illegal thing to do, but that's their life. Maybe now you understand why I have mentioned 'The Beach' before, isn't it just like that? People in San Pedro have built lots of  sorts of huts and shacks which would only need a good puff of wind to collapse, they shower in a common place at the entrance of the beach, I am not sure what they eat, but they must go to the 'mainland' sometime to get some food and marihuana to maintain being hippies. I have to say, I was quite fascinated by the minimum of what they have and how they live, I could not do it, but it is always interesting to explore how colourful the world is.

I spotted some solar panels in San Pedro, which probably heats the water during winter.

Could not resist a picture with the locals
