oron, in one word, is breathtaking Sure, so many places in the country are, too But oron has a certain serenity and intensity that make it different 7he serenity part is obYious, like when you island hop and discoYer new gems Yirgin ,slands with ero inhabitants Must a kayak ride away , say intense because the minute , arriYed, , kayaked my way into a a sunset of burnt sienna, something that made me want to kayak back Must to get my mobile phone camera to be able to take a snapshot of it, but it was too late Just like some good things, the sun bade us farewell the minute our sunset cocktails started
7here was music by *lobe Surf Spotify at the happy hour hosted by the happily glowing 5uffa *utierre , so eYeryone was in a good mood after the island hopping that happened earlier that day, with Belo Sun ( pert and a pack of ita oco all neatly tucked into a )ila backpack that serYed as our adYenture kits for this trip
