Balboa Island & Dana Point

The day after my mom and I went to San Diego, we headed back down the coast to Newport Beach to do another Volksmarch, this one on Balboa Island and Peninsula.

First, we walked over a bridge onto Balboa Island. Each house had a dock (usually with a nice boat) out front. I took this picture of mom on the "public dock," the only one that riffraff like us are allowed on!



And one lovely house had a dinosaur out front.

Then we took a ferry (for $1 each) across to Balboa Peninsula.


The ferry could hold three cars at a time.

We also did a Volksmarch in Dana Point which is another beautiful area. First, we walked to an overlook of the harbour.


As you can see, it was a beautiful day.



The houses were stunning and the lawns manicured.


Eventually, we walked right on down to the ocean where we stopped for a rest before hiking the whole way back up to our car!
