Today we woke up and realised just how amazing the view from our balcony is - were sat right near the ocean with lush views of the water and cliffs in the distance. We cooked a good old fry up and all sat and had breakfast, after we got our selves ready and went to the warehouse as this seems to be something we need to do everyday! Afterwards we got changed and got our stuff together to head off to hot water beach - this is a beach that has a hot spring deep underground and when it's low tide the hot water bubbles up through the sand.
This means you find the steaming part of the beach and dig a couple of holes until you find the hot water. We got there fairly early and people had already found the area near the spring, we started digging but I reckon we found the spring as the water was unbearable to stand on let alone lay in - however we did uncover the main source of hot water which other people channeled into their pools to warm them up. We relocated just infront of the original pool where the temperature was a lot better. Very quickly the beach got busier and we were surrounded by others digging their own pools! This was handy as gave us protection from the ice cold waves that washed up against everyone's pool! We chilled in the water for about an hour and soon headed out as we all started to look like prunes! We headed back along the beach and the mixture of the sunset, clouds and clear water left on the sand made incredible reflections and made for some very pretty photos! We headed back and got fish and chips for dinner, sat, drank beer and watched se tv - could get used to this!
