On our recent trip to Ponta do Ouro to do some warm-water diving we took full advantage of our location right on the beach, and every evening sat around a fire just outside our rooms at the Motel do Mar. Nearby were some thatched gazebos that were useful for keeping out of the sun while lying on a towel or, as JP – ever-surprising and comprehensively equipped for any and every outdoor pursuit – showed us, lying in a hammock.
Concerned readers will be pleased to hear that, following re-erection of the wooden post, the hammock was secured once again and a pleasant evening was had by all.
