So close to the ocean we were watching the ships sail by

We had a lovely time, thank you. The apartment was great, clean, spacious, quiet and with a wonderful view. It was interesting watching the ships go by, and just watching the ocean. Nice to be so close to the beach and to cafes, so that we could just walk everywhere.
