Here are two videos from our aborted attempt to walk an hour along the coast towards downtown and the more popular and populous beaches yesterday. We discovered the tide to be way in. A day before we had to walk a full 100 meters further to even reach the edge of the sea. And then we could walk another 150 meters or more because of how amazingly shallow the water is in the gulf. I stood easily 200 meters out past where we filmed this video of the gulf and the water did not even reach my knee caps. Though slightly further out and you could feel the icy chill of the deeper water circling your ankles as the depth gradually, then rapidly increased. However, on this day we only saw one brave old man swimming nude in the rough sea. Fortunately the tide kept us far enough away that we couldn't see just how cold the water was.
Also, a video of the beautiful coastal meadow that has been restored into a nature reserve. And my failed attempts to communicate with the locals. Mooooooo.........
