Let's go surfin' now!

Come on a safari with me... we decided it was about time to go day tripping & we went out to Half Moon Bay which is about an hours drive due west from where we are. We were very excited to see the Pacific Ocean - westside!

It reminded me a lot of Tasmania's beaches on the west coast with the rugged coastline & rough waves. The sand was salt & pepper & very different to the white sandy beaches in Australia. We enjoyed seeing & feeling the Pacific Ocean as that was a reminder of our home. The drive to the beach was quite a surprise due to the amazing views of the valleys & open space (national parks) areas that surround the valley itself. It is untouched with some huge trees & undulating green areas safe from development.

It was a cold day down at the beach with lots of chill winds & the water was icy. Here we are chilling out and there I am with Ashwin testing out the water. We had to go back to the car soon after as we were all turning blue. My feet were like icicles & about to freeze off - lucky there were some socks in the bag.
