Being a city girl I'm use to the hustle and bustle with which that brings. So on days like today, when we take the time to go to a beautiful beach and spend the afternoon doing nothing, it makes me realise how much we need some calm every now and then. Usually I enjoy being kept busy and don't like having nothing to do but today that was just what I needed.
Our friend picked us up and drove us to a different beach to our normal one. We had a picnic lunch, blankets and an umbrella to keep the food and drinks cool. We have never been more prepared in all our lives...well on trips to the beach at least.
We munched on carrots, cucumber, peppers, celery, hummus, soft cheese, rice crackers, watermelon and sandwich's and then we simply spent the rest of the afternoon splashing in the warm (!!) sea, sunbathing and reading our books. It was sunny but with a cool breeze so we were never uncomfortable hot and didn't get cold It genuinely was just such a nice day and made me realise how incredibly lucky I am to be able to be in such a beautiful country, with amazing friends (new and old) and just take time to relax and enjoy life.
All in all, today was a very good day!
