Another day in Paradise

I'm not sure whether it is karma, or what exactly. The weather was predicted to be cool, cloudy, and rainy. It turned out to be warm, sunny, and dry. I could not have asked for a better way to see this wonderful little town.

After a leisurely breakfast, we got some directions from our hosts, and went for a walk along the coast to the north of the centre of town. (Fishing was not to bee: the sea was not right, according to our hosts.) There is a well-defined walkway, lots of terrific scenery,








and a gentle bit of exercise to perhaps justify the amount of food we are eating. And Darlene's hip is improving, so she could walk pretty well normally.

Returning back to the B&B, Andrew (our host) asked if we would be interested in going out to visit another beach with some surfing waves. I suggested we could do it ourselves, but he insisted on driving us, saying it was needed a 4WD car to get there. And he was right: it was bumpy, sandy, hilly; indeed, a rough ride. But well worth it.








Darlene was at the water edge light a bolt out of the blue. And she said her hip was cured. It was a wonderful experience!

After that, everything else was a bit anti-climactic. But we survived. It was with great sadness that we started to pack that evening. Our wonderful hosts would be hard to leave. And then there were the dogs.


(They even washed and folded our laundry.) We knew we had a longish trip the next day, but were reluctant to leave, so didn't get away until about eleven in the morning.
