In small islands, the water is always a little colder. Especially at the beginning of the season. This is the best time, in my opinion.

You step out of the water, and your whole body tingles, as if pricked by a thousand tiny needles. You fall onto the hot sand. Your heart is ready to jump out of your chest. You close your eyes. Your breath slows down. And the sun begins to cover you with its delicate kisses — centimeter by centimeter.

That’s it… The world has stopped…

Il respiro rallenta. E il sole comincia a coprirti con i suoi baci delicati — centimetro dopo centimetro.

È tutto... Il mondo si è fermato…
