Day 15: Santa Cruz day at the beach

Slow morning in Santa Cruz with breakfast at the hostel, then a second coffee and pain au chocolat at the ‘Shrine Café’ (a really nice coffee place, but adjacent to a church 🥴). In the gardens of said church, I saw my first ever humming bird 😍 then a short visit to the surf museum of Santa Cruz (apparently it was SC where the first ever surf club was founded? Uli, weißt du das?). Anyway, Jack O‘Neill, who invented neoprene wetsuits for surfing (Uli?), was also part of the SC surf club later in the 70s. Now there is a restaurant is his name in the city.

Again - no surfers out today. Apparently, the water has been quiet for the past week or so?

Dumb me got a big old sunburn from not creaming my back well enough by myself. 😡 What a beginner’s mistake.

Went for a nice long run in the evening 😍Read more
