Went for a few swims 800m in the warm sea and pool to cool down and do a bit of exercise.

We went for a guided tour round the resort which was impressive with over 20 restaurants. In the evening after a lovely dinner in the Italian restaurant went to a white night silent disco which a scream after being a bit dubious. In fact one of the best nights dancing.
