Tag 6 - Beach, Rain, Relaxation in Baylys Beach

Baylys Beach

I wake up at 6am and then get up at 8am. It has rained heavily twice outside and it is completely clouded. I take my bread rolls and cheese and sit across from the kitchen at the wooden tables, toast my bread rolls and have breakfast while the sky clears up a bit. The weather forecast says it will rain from noon, so I go to the beach at 10:00am. I walk around, take a dune walk, but it has such a strange course that if it starts to rain now, I would need to walk endlessly back to the car. So I go back down to the beach and sit on the beach closer to the car, watching surfers and clouds.

Cars and motorcycles drive around on the otherwise empty beach and at some point three people with yellow safety vests come up to me to give me information for my trips on the beach. I don't have any plans to do that, but I gladly take the information and also get an ice cream as a gift!

The sky above the Tasman Sea is getting darker and darker, and in the distance you can see rain showers going into the sea. It is cloudy but I will still have some red patches later (despite SPF 30). With more and more low tide, the surfers also leave the water and the waves become noticeably flatter than when I arrived here at 10:00am. Now it's 1:00pm and I think it's better to slowly disappear from here.

As soon as I'm in my cabin, it starts raining. Sometimes like ropes, then real downpours. I enjoy being forced to do nothing and lie on the bed, looking at the rain, wondering if I should do anything else, but no. The day goes by leisurely with reading and internet, and at 9:00pm the lights go out.
