The lagoon at eight in the morning is a different thing from the lagoon at eight in the evening. Flat, silver, nearly silent. A single fisherman in a small boat about two hundred metres out, not appearing to fish. We left before the town had properly woken up, heading northeast on roads that climbed immediately and steeply into a landscape of oak and limestone that felt nothing like the coast we had left behind twenty minutes before.
