We had decided to have a free morning
And spent it on the sandy beach
Swimming and adoring the sun
At about noon we went to the violet beach bar
And sat under the palms
Enjoying our ice cold drinks
We chatted for a while to a German couple
Who had travelled from their home in Dresden
A few days before our arrival on the island
An hour or so later we retired from the beach
As the day had become rather hot
And shopped in a orange bookstore nearby
We planned to spend the evening reading in our room
Instead of watching the sun set as it made us both a little sad
Jane was reading a book with a red and indigo cover
Whilst mine was blue yellow and green
Both were French thrillers
Written by the same author
