Beach/Spewing Rocks


Yesterday afternoon included a trip over to a special location where the lava rocks had waves that spewed up in columns that were surprising and exciting. In addition, a lovely rainbow added to the spectacular impression made. What fun, not to mention the chicken we saw (they’re everywhere) gathering her 5 very small chicks under her wings as the day became cooler. Interestingly, her rooster stood on guard nearby, ready to protect his brood!

The challenge of today was to keep up with the sand toys while playing in the water.

The excitement of the day came when there were 2 seals on the beach AND a sea turtle. Arne and Harldur even saw another 4 sea turtles in the waves grazing on the large rocks.

Cati, Arne and I also enjoyed the beautiful fish we saw as we snorkeled near the rocks. I was sorry my camera couldn’t take underwater pictures. Just imagine fish of every color and design!

After 6 hours at the beach, including a delicious lunch that Arne had packed for us, the family took the car to check out a hike not far from here. I didn’t go, but the report of the troups was that it was delightful, even though they returned soon because it was sunny on the hike. Too much sun for today!!!

Ciao!
