Lunch was served with the customary dish in Cape Town, that is, Fish and Wine with anything else. We had potato chips added to that.
After the meal, we were full of energy but no adventure. We had not brought any clothes fit for the beach and hence for some time, the beach was out of question. One of our team suggested we just walk around the beach. This was a good idea and this led to the excitement of the day.
As we approached the beach, everyone hesitated for a moment because of the sea breeze. No one ever thought they would set their feet into the sea.
The looks in these eyes show an edge to get into the water, but the clothing and the weather seemed to discourage that.
Then one adventurous member of the team broke out of the pack. You always need people like these whenever you travel because they give you the edge to be adventurous.
The way had been opened and so the others easily followed up. At first every effort was made to avoid the waters.
Then an unexpected high tide swept through the sea, catching us unawares and we no longer had any reason to avoid the waters, our feet were already wet. The chilling water sent the cold up the spine in no time.
As if it also sent some energy into the spine, everyone became excited and started jumping around.
More people drew near and the water was filled with life.
For the dread locked ladies, the breeze swept their hair in a typical stage performance of the rasta -farians.
For the love birds, the pictures show the mood. This was all created by the feel of nature near the sea.
If you live in a coastal area and seek happiness, just visit the beach. If you are land locked, find a dam nearby, it may give you the feeling.
