They will stay for a few days to explore and have fun. When they woke up, it was past seven. They took a shower and prepared for breakfast. They made an omelet with bacon and sausage. They had breakfast and then cleaned the kitchen and the bathrooms. Cynthia changed the beds with clean sheets. About ten they went shopping and took a walk.They bought everything they needed, filled up with water, bought two small wood stoves for the winter, a few blankets and duvets, pillows, bedding, kitchen towels, bath towels, top mattresses. They also bought a bathrobe, dressing gown, pajamas, slippers, tablecloths, and napkins. Then they went to get solar batteries and aggregate if the power went out. From there they went to a park where they walked and played badminton. At two, they went home and made pizza and salad for lunch. They unloaded the jeep and searched everything in the cupboards and the refrigerator—meat and fish in the freezer and the garage generator.
They had lunch outside in front of the RV and listened to music on the radio. The weather was good, and they decided to have a barbecue for dinner. Paul cleaned the grill, Evelyn marinated the meat, Cynthia peeled the potatoes to fry later for dinner, Annabelle washed the salad products, and Michelle made the fruit salad and lemonade.
At five o'clock, they lit the barbecue and started cooking. Paul had gone to get beer and wine from a nearby store. He also took some watermelons and melons, fresh fruits and vegetables. When he got home, he helped the women with the barbecue, and they had dinner at eight. They ate outside and watched TV. They went inside, brought everything in at about eleven, and locked the jeep. They put the food in the fridge, washed the dishes, dried them, and put them in the cupboard. They went to bed at midnight when it started to rain outside.
It was still raining when they woke up the following day. They took a bath and went down for breakfast. They made hot toasted sandwiches and jasmine tea. Today they would stay inside and find some activities.
They played monopolies video games, watched movies, and made cookies and muffins. One had lunch from the barbecue and the salads leftover from the night before. At three o'clock, it stopped raining outside, and they went for a walk. They went to a nearby park, used sports equipment, and played tennis. Then they toured the park three times and went home and took a shower after training. They ate what was left of the barbecue and country salad at seven o'clock. After dinner, they washed the dishes and watched TV. Michelle called her family and several friends from school. At nine o'clock, Melanie called to hear them. Annabelle was working on her book.

In the morning, when they got up at seven, the rain had stopped, they had breakfast, and then at eight, they went out and went to see several museums and art galleries. At lunch, they had lunch in a small restaurant on the promenade. They ordered chicken soup for starters, for the main thing they requested was lamb with rice and mashed potatoes. For dessert, they ordered Napoleon cake and vanilla ice cream. When they had eaten, they paid the bill and left. They went home at three and made coffee, sat outside to drink it, watching some reality show on TV. They decided to go to dinner at a nearby beach restaurant where they offered pizza at six o'clock. They ordered a small pizza for each and garlic rolls with grilled yellow cheese on top. At eight, they went home and watched the evening news, and then a movie, and at eleven, they went to bed. Annabelle could not sleep late and be watching a movie on her laptop. Michelle also fidgeted in her bed for a long time because it was warm. The others had long since fallen asleep.
When they woke up at eight the following day, they had breakfast and got ready to go to the beach. They made sandwiches, took muffins and cookies, tea and coffee, water, and soft drinks. They had marked a lonely beach ten kilometers south of where they were at the moment, where they would park the RV and could stay for a few days. They packed up and, at ten, left for the beach. They got into traffic, but they were in no hurry. Arriving at the beach, they found a shady spot under a willow tree and parked there. They took out the tables and canteens, stretched out their umbrellas, opened the deckchairs, put the animals' water under the shade, and settled down.
Paul lit the barbecue, they had marinated the meat the day before, and they would roast it on the barbecue later. Cynthia let the colored clothes be washed, then the white and black laundry separately, and finally the bed linen. Evelyn kneaded bread while Annabelle made a cake for afternoon tea. Michelle was painting and enjoying the sun. At eleven o'clock they decided to go for a swim in the ocean. The water was warm and pleasant, and they swam freely. They came out of the water at noon, and Paul set the meat to roast until the barbecue was over, so they decided to bask in the sun. They drank iced tea and enjoyed the excellent weather. They had lunch at two and then walked on the beach. They played beach volleyball and tennis. Then they went home and took a shower, and changed. They decided to rest and watch TV before dinner.
