There and back again, to see how far it is...

This morning MrGrumpy had to take his washing to the laundry, it was that time again.
After dropping off his washing he was not sure what to do, he did not want to do too much climbing so chose to take a drive down to Capitola and the see what he could find to do there.

When he got there, the sea fog was still lingering, so he started to walk, he soon found himself at Opal Cliffs watching the surfing and taking photos along the way.

He carried on walking, and walking and after quite a long walk, he arrived at Santa Cruz. By the time he walked down the broadwalk it was well past beer o'clock, he found a bar and ordered a refreshing beer. The beer went down really well, not it was time to find some food.
Food is always a chore, after walking down the road and checking his options, he went for a chicken kebab at Falafel Hut. It was pretty tasty and set him up for his walk back to Capitola.

He headed back, this time keeping to the roads rather than walking along a section of the beach, this and the fact he knew where he was going, made the walk back seem quicker.

Back in Capitola, he went to the Britania Arms and treated himself to a pint of Old Speckled Hen, the first 'English" beer he had had since he was in the US.

Just a bit more walking to get back to the car, then a little drive back up Highway 17 to home.

There was no doubt that he managed his steps today, he had walked  over 28,000 steps which is the best part of 14 miles.

Time now for MrGrumpy to relax and watch Netflix.
