The Ruins

The ruins as seen from the beach

Another day, another adventure.  With the weather being bit off for strolls along the beach, we decided to head into town along the back lanes.  Once we made it to the village we decided to keep going further in hopes of finding the ruins we had heard abot.  We ended up following some back roads which were sand trails, not too sure exactly where they were taking us.  Along these trails we saw that the locals had been using the area as a convenient garbage can.  Finally, in the distance I spotted what looked like a spike of stone sticking up which suggested we wouldn’t have to walk much further.  After hiking for about five kilometres we had come upon the ruins.  They weren’t the most impressive ruins, obviously as you can see from the photo, but to us they were definitely worth the long walk. 

The two of us within the centre of the ruins.

We wandered around in the ruins looking at all there was to see.  We did see an old well, a cooking area, likely for smoking hanging fish in addition to the walls.  In the centre of the opening, someone had recently built a stone circle, perhaps for a fire pit. 

Of course, we just had to take some photographs of ourselves at the site.  Hopefully, the pictures capture the scene as well as the atmosphere.  There is no doubt that we will be heading that way again someday, perhaps when it is sunny so that we can take photos under different lighting conditions.
