The wheels hold the road perfectly despite the ground changing so often beneath us. It is really a lot of fun.
We get as far as the famous 'Santa Monica' beach, an expanse of golden sand 20 kilometers long, and there in front, the ocean. Like seeing an oasis in the desert.
We resume our march to return but not before taking a few photos in the midst of that priceless view!
