Wandering back to the car & camp

After hiking up Hoven we decided to have a relaxing wander back to the car since it was such a nice day. I had planned on going and exploring a town this afternoon, but we didn’t feel like doing that as it would add a lot of walking and we were enjoying where we were. So we will probably go into town tomorrow instead.

First we sat and enjoyed the views from the rocks right across from the trailhead. There is a golf course right there and we were sitting by one of the tees, but there were not that many people golfing so we didn’t see anyone there. Then we walked down to maybe my favorite beach of the trip even though it was tiny. On the way to the trail we had seen this QR code that said geology so we learned that the rocks on this beach were Gabbro and about the rocks which was so nice! Like I said the beach was tiny, but so pretty! We had a sit to enjoy the water and on our way back to the road we saw lots of sparrows on the beach! It was fun watching them flit around doing their thing. We spied on lots of other birds on the walk back to the car, and then just before we got there it started raining a bit and we got another rainbow! So many rainbows every day!

Then it was off to where we are camped for the night - a trailhead for a hike we may or may not do tomorrow…we shall have to see what the trail conditions are like. It seems super steep and at least the top most bit might be more than I am capable of, but we shall see. The last three photos are where we are camped for the night. The second to last photo is what we might climb tomorrow which is on one side of the car, the water on the other. While we were sitting here doing things I was pointing something out to Raymond outside and a little Stoat ran by, then ran by the front of the car! He was so cute! So tiny, brown with a white belly and a black tipped tail! So much fun! We shall see what adventures we end up getting up to tomorrow!Read more
