I woke up to a heavy downpour of rain. It only lasted a
short time though.
Jacinta and I went for a hike to Mejan Beach. Along the way
we walked over a foot bridge and down to a pretty bay called ' secret bay'. The
bay is really a cove with a small beach at the end. The waves funnel into the
cove and wash along the cliffs on either side. The wave erosion undermines and
smoothes the lower cliff wall.
We walked back up and followed a path to the end of the
point. There was an expansive and beautiful view of the waves at Balian and the
northern coastline. We continued along a narrow track through jungle, past a
small field shrine, over a small cascade of water, through a field with cows
and onto Mejan Road. Along the road, we passed a small temple then it was a
steep descent to the beach access. The beach was long, wide and stretched off
into the distance.
We returned via the road to the village. In the village we
brought a large water 60 000r - 20 litres - and they delivered to our hotel
room later. We continued along the entrance road to Balian and our hotel.
I checked the surf and ran into Mark, who was with a friend
who turned out to be a guy I was good friends with in high school - Rodney. We hadn't
seen each other for about forty years. We chatted and then had a fun, smooth
surf together. It was so good to meet up again we Rodney and share some good waves.
After lunch, I spent
the afternoon relaxing in the room. It rained on and off throughout the
afternoon.
We had a few beers and tasty dinner in the hotel restaurant.
The girls had cocktails.
