A crowed surf this morning. I decided to wait till after
breakfast. The waves were good and I had a few at the beginning but the crowd
increased again. Towards the end of the session the crowd thinned out and a
number of sets broke so I came in with plenty of good waves under my belt. Out
in the water I met Jonathan from Gisbourne, NZ.
I chatted to a group of ladies from Denmark in WA - a girls'
holiday - they were fun.
Jacinta and I walked to Tom's Garden for a pot of coffee,
pie and ice cream.
Later, we went for lunch at a beachside warung. the food was nice but the portions were small so we stopped for sushi on the way back.
After a restful afternoon, I went for a motorbike ride to Secret
Bay then a hike to Mejan Beach. Firstly, there were a number of strange sea creatures clinging to the rocks in Secret Bay.
This time I walked and climbed through a series
of caves. The first cave under the headland of Secret Bay was a tumble of
fallen rocks covered in bat pooh. A fun experience but a bit messy on the
hands. The cliff above the cave on the other side had a number of bats clinging
to it.
I walked across the bay in this small cove and trough an
arch that went under the next headland. This one was all sand but timing was
important as waves would fill it up to about knee height. I got through the
arch with wet shoes.
I walked across the rough, slippery and barnacled rocks to
another cave. This cave was very long and dark and there were some bats flying
around inside it. At the far end, the cave turned upwards. It was a steep climb
up and out and then it as a steep slippery climb down to the next bay. There
was a small waterfall and a large sandy beach.
I walked around the base of the
next headland and onto Mejan Beach then I returned via the road and the cliff
top track back to my motorbike.
A great adventurous hike but it can only be done at low tide
on a small swell.
Back at the hotel, I cleaned myself up while the girls went
for cocktails. I joined them and then we walked down the hill to Pitaya for
dinner. A tasty meal.
