Shortly after setting off this morning Callie screeched to a halt a few meters short of running over a snake. About 3 foot long it appeared to be sunbathing at the edge of the road, luckily it quickly slithered off into the undergrowth. The road took us towards the coast up and down a series of hills and a low pass. At the pass all the other traffic got to use a newly built tunnel through the hill whereas we, who could've really done with the shortcut, had to slog the last few hundred meters up and over the summit. It's chilli harvest time and everywhere they are spread out on sheets to dry in colourful carpets or strung up on lines they festoon buildings. We had a pickled variety in our lunch today which was very tasty. At sunset we wound our way down to a small cove ringed by cliffs and just enough room for a campsite behind the beach. Planning a day off to appreciate the idyllic setting.
