Jen commences the descent striding directly toward the Atlantic Ocean before the sun appeared brightly. Hopefully, she'll turn before reaching it (ocean).
If that's her reflection, I fear she did not make the turn.
Yikes! She's heading for the water.
Phew! She stopped for lunch on the rocks. Never can resist a peach yoghurt. The funny thing is that it was high tide and so she moved back ten feet from the edge. Cautious! Did not wish to wet the yoghurt. Behind and above is the building abandoned in 1972 while under construction. We wonder if this is what's meant by "Mañana".
Making a big splash at brunch as we find a spot following our descent.
As we view the coastline, Puerto La Cruz is prominent. Jen asked, "When are you going to put some color in my life?"
I hoped her question was of a literal nature. Try these three for starters!
I hope she was not wishing to fence me in.
Trusting the above colors were acceptable. Sometimes she can be a little prickly.
Dare I say, perhaps, even a little 'crabby'...could that be the correct word?
Time to depart.
We decided to follow a hunch on our return and seek a new route up to the commencement position or at least close-by. A hunch sometimes proves to be correct, but this one looked more like a 'chancer's guess'. We discovered a stone path which led to an abandoned graffiti-covered hut. The path proved to be relatively outstanding for its position, quality and of course, it suited us ideally. We now have a further route to follow up/down to the coast making it a total of 4 in this confined region. It also allows us to increase the tally of successful hunches over 15 years to...um...3...might be stretching things.

We passed the abandoned and decrepit hut alongside the exquisite tree.
Kept on going along a path that never seemed to reach a logical conclusion.
At last, we reached the end of the regional park and trail but found ourselves continuing up through a 'jungle'. The gradient became even steeper.
Finally, we reached a road which was even steeper and much longer than we envisaged. Thereafter, we made a turn to the left and began a successful search for our car. Fortunately, the car remained where we had left it but the diversion added over a mile which we welcomed...well, one of us did.
Cheers,

Approaching the hut, tree and on a great path. Hiking-life doesn't get much better.
Another hole in the wall through which to peek at the breakers.
Closing color.
