Travel and Adventure Journal

I wanted a place to journal all my travels and adventures around the world. I always enjoy going back and reflecting on my past travels and getting to relive them through my words and photos.

Day 53

I got up this morning to some beautiful weather. Last night I told myself I'd get up and run if it was nice so I ate, changed into my running gear and set off toward the coast to run. I went down to Watergate Bay again for another 8 mile run.

When I got back, Ryan and Luke were talking about going down to the beach for the afternoon. I ate and then when they were ready we went down to Great Western beach with a big gazebo, a raft and a frisbee.

The weather looked a little gloomy and we got rained on after setting up the gazebo, but the rain only lasted a little while and then it ended up being beautiful. We got there at low tide and as the day went on the beach shrunk and shrunk as high tide came in. The waves were really big today and when I got in, it felt like I was on the Atlantic side of Florida with the big waves.

We relaxed on the beach and threw the frisbee around for a while before heading back to the hostel. I showered and changed and then went in search of food. ASDA and Sainsbury's were both closed on Sunday so I ended up getting some cheap Chinese food.

We've just been chilling at the hostel watching movies and having a few drinks. I'm not sure what I'm going to do tomorrow. I need to get in touch with the hostels in Brighton and make sure I can get the weekly rates.
