Travelling up from PH I was struck by a feeling that the hills beside us were tired from age and worn down from the weight of years. They seemed to be frowning on us.

Pitched camp and then down to the beach with the bikes for a test of our sand riding skills- in my case they were nonexistent. Tide was well out but the sunsets are reputed to be beautiful so I’ll add a picture if I can get one. sunset and sunrise photosLæs mere
