We continued down the inland side of the beach and there was some beautiful scenery, but the sky was clouding over and a fog was forming over the ocean. Buddhism talks about crossing over to the other shore (becoming enlightened), but with the way the weather was we could not because we couldn't see where it was.
The sand was an interesting dark gray, which suited the day perfectly.
Except for one place where the road cuts across a headland and the last two kilometers, our path followed the beach. Most places we see for a long way in both directions (as in the following picture) but in other places there was a row of trees blocking our view of the water. This was particularly true later in the day.
At one of the small points, there was a park and we decided to stop for a rest. Also it was beginning to rain, just a little - not enough for us to get out our rain clothes, but we thought we should unpack them and put them where we could easily get them. At the park we met a man (shown in the next picture) we had been seeing since morning. We chatted about the weather and our Pilgrimage, and then went our separate ways. Ian and I both had a snack and something to drink, before we started out again.
Another ruined boat - they seemed to be everywhere. Also in the background you can see the railroad tracks. The parallel our trail for most of the day.
