We got back to Kotu late afternoon and had a relaxing walk on the beach - our first visit to the beach! Kotu beach is a long sandy beach and whilst we were approached by fruit sellers and tour guides it was for a pleasant chat not a hard sell. Everybody we met so far were friendly and genuinely only trying hard to make a living. We haven't felt threatened or uncomfortable which is a testament to the people of this smiling country.
