A lovely birthday visit.

The wife insisted that we must take a drive on my recent birthday, and I was happy to oblige.

And so, during the drive, we popped into a beach area to have a quick look at the scenery

But it was the other side of the town that I wanted to get to, and I will show you why below. There is a famous road that runs all around the mountains at almost sea level, and the views on this road are really mind blowing. There are several look out stops on this road, and I stopped at the first one at the far right end of the houses in the picture above.

Let's see what Wikipedia has to say about that road.
For the history buffs, the road was built by Italian prisoners (POWs) during the second world war.
