Walk to Resolute Beach (West Head) with Elna

Elna bought a book of the best and most remote swimming spots in Sydney. She is planning to explore them all if she can.  She asked me to join me on an adventure to the first one on the list: Resolute Beach.  The walk in was lovely, taking about 30 minutes, through pristine bush. The beach itself was gorgeous too, with beautiful blue sea and some nice sculptured rocks. We had a lovely swim. Hopefully I will join her on lots more of her outings as she ticks down the list.

Landcapes of Iceland

Iceland was a land of thundering waterfalls, towering volcanic craters, rugged coast, vast vistas and charming, remote villages. We fell in love with its stark beauty.
