Stunningly beautiful coastal hike

A stunning beautiful sunny day in the mid-70s. After all the rain and cloudy days this is exhilarating. On top of that I'm doing a hike in the woods on single track along a coastline that is absolutely mind-blowing. If there's heaven on Earth I think I'm living it.

It's a fairly long hike and I don't know exactly how much time it will take or what to expect so I'm putting in a great effort and I'm flying along. What is surprising is the amount of stair steps and how steep the trail goes up and down. I also take time to enjoy the views. Good mix.

But I know there is a bus at the end to take me back to town. Then I go to the store to stock up on food and I run into a Sunday afternoon tennis match by high schoolers. It's exciting to watch from the bridge vantage point.

I make dinner and have great discussions with three Japanese who are also hiking the trail and are doing the same thing basing out of my hostel. With all the pantomine it is actually pretty funny and we laugh a lot.Read more
