Beachwalk +

Nothing exciting to report today, but it was a pleasant and peaceful one nonetheless, so far, and it's only 2:31 PM.

Ursula took a stroll down the road to the Periwinkle Shops, browsing through the small boutiques. Meanwhile, I headed in a south-easterly direction, along the beach — exploring the stretch I hadn’t covered the day before.

Pelicans were gracefully diving for fish just offshore, while sandpipers scurried along the waterline, feeding on tiny insects. A novice windsurfer bravely battled to stay upright against the breeze, clearly determined but not yet in control.

After a few miles, my legs began to feel the strain of walking in the soft sand, so I turned inland and made my way back through one of the beach resorts along East Gulf Drive and took a couple of flower pictures.

Before heading home, I rewarded myself with a refreshing ice cream from the Lighthouse Coffee Café — the perfect sweet ending to a lazy, sunlit morning before noon.

Ursula put me in charge of grilled NZ lamb chops for tonight's full moon dinner. 😋Læs mere
