Swimming in the Atlantic ocean

Today was our first day off from the familization. Jun woke us up before 7 o'clock, and just after that we ate breakfast. My watch started at 7:30 o'clock and ended at 8 o'clock when I raised the Swedish flag during line up. After the line up we went down to clean our rooms because the captain was going to inspect to see if they were up to the standards.

Around 9:30, my friends and I gathered together to go on a whole day trip through the mountains. The first stop of the day was on an abandoned hotel up in the mountain. From the hotel there were very pretty views over the twin lakes. The hotel was very fascinating with many beautiful paintings on the walls. We saw that the nature was very beautiful on the way up through the mountains, so we decided to walk down besides the road down to the village were the twin lakes were. The walk was very long, about 2 hours, but it was worth it because the nature were unique and similar to the rainforest. When we came down to the village we all were so hungry, so we decided to reach for restaurants. After a long search we found a local buffet, and the food was okay. There was mostly meat, so we got bored of the food quite quickly. We met a were friendly woman that works in the restaurants. She recommended different hot springs in the ocean, so most of the group spontaneously decided to go there to swim. The kind lady helped us with the booking of the taxis and the logistics. The taxis drove us there and dropped us off and showed us were the hot spring were. We went down on a long path down to the water, and a few of us took a swim in the ocean. It was very refreshing after such a long walk, and a very cool experience to be able to take a part of. The ride home was quite unusual. For starters, the taxi driver said that they would pick us up in 5 minutes, but then he changed his mind and said 20-50 minutes. After a long wait they finally came and drove us all home to the city where we ate smashed burgers for dinner. We all walked back to the boat, and i fell a sleep immediately when i got to my room.
