Above us, the sky kept repeating the same dramatic trick, black and grey clouds marching past, yet the sun stubbornly held centre stage, as if contractually obliged to deliver a perfect summer day. Ideal weather for an ocean-side performance!

The horizon rushed toward us as we gathered speed with respectful caution, eyes scanning for the next theatrical bend. Beyond the modest retaining wall, a structure whose confidence far exceeded its size, the cliff tumbled into brush and stubborn green vegetation clinging to survival.
