Today, Kedron and I had a much-deserved Day Date! Our apartment doesn't have a landline, and the boys don't have phones, so we haven't felt comfortable leaving them alone in the evening since they can't call us. So our solution has been to do small things together while they are in school. Yay for us!
Today's destination: Hallett Cove Beach.
This was different than other beaches we've visited; there was very little sand and mostly rocks/boulders at the water's edge. We had to hop from rock to rock to explore the areas down by the water. It was a nice workout!
This photo doesn't totally capture the amazing water and wind erosion on these rocks.
We found a staircase leading up to a nice walking trail. Here was our view from a little bit higher:
What exactly is this monstrosity in the next pic? They call it the Sugarloaf!
Millions of years ago, this area was covered by glaciers. As the glaciers melted, a lake formed here, and the red/brown layers at the bottom are the sediment that deposited in the bottom of that lake from the melting glacier. The white layer is sand, which blew over the sediment after the lake drained. The brown layer on top is clay from rivers that ran over the top of the sand.
(I took a pic of a sign - that's how I sound so smart here :)
There was only one restaurant close by; but fortunately, it was delicious! We enjoyed a nice meal after our hike before heading back into the city. Unfortunately, we didn't take any pics together on our date - it was VERY windy. Maybe next time!
