“Swimming in the sea was great. If you suffer from motion sickness, do take some medication for that, because I don't suffer, but where the waves were rough on our way going, it really did get to me. Wear your swimwear underneath your clothes so that you're ready to go. There are 2 places we go swimming. Don't forget your goggles and snorkels if you have them! It was such a nice way to cool down from the heat”
