On Sunday (2/18) it looked like it was going to be a nice day out so I texted the group to see if anyone wanted to go to the beach with me. A bunch of people said they would like to go and one girl, Lara, said she actually lives right next to a nearby beach so if we went there we could borrow her family’s boogie boards and surfboards. So, a group of about 10 of us met up and took the bus to Brighton, an area of Christchurch that is a little over an hour away.
It ended up being a little cloudy for a couple hours and by the coast it was a little cool and windy, but it was still nice to be at the beach. There was a pier that we walked out on and got beautiful views of the beach and the nearby mountains. Right next to the beach there was actually a library, which I thought was cool. It would be so nice to go there and sit and read looking out at the ocean.
A couple people attempted to surf, while the rest of us boogie boarded and body surfed for a couple hours. The water was a little cool, especially without the sun, but we still had a lot of fun. Later in the afternoon the sun did come out and it was nice to lay on the beach and warm up. Because the sun doesn’t set until later in the evening, we had a nice long beach afternoon- a great last day before classes start!
