Sweet like Saturday morning.

9:00 am
My friend and I decided to meet at Albert
Street at 10:00 a.m. I walked down to the constellation bus station from my house
and saw that it was completely overcrowded. I noticed the crowd had a life of
their own, the bright clothes were sparkling in the morning light, and the
people were moving like enchanting fish shoals. The bus was supposed to arrive
at 9:30 am, but it arrived a few minutes late at 9:45 am. All the passengers
boarded the bus, chattering with excitement, some in English and some in their
own language. Others sat quietly and enjoyed their music while looking out of
the window. A few had buried themselves in their guides, memorizing where to
go. After a couple of hours, I finally arrived at my destination and saw that
my friend was already waiting there for me.
11:00 am
We both headed towards the ferry station. There
were a lot of crowds, a river of people moving in one direction. All in their own
hurry. There were only joyful faces as we headed towards the ferry. We all
moved not like pebbles in a jar but like water molecules flowing
smoothly past one another. The moment we reached the ferry it was so large like
the train and airplane, seats with the TV screen. My friend and I decided to
sit outside. The view from the ferry was so beautiful. I closed my eyes to the
lullaby of the ocean, breathing in its poignant salty breath. The ocean breeze
whisper like a lover, placing salty kisses on my cheek and tousling my long
auburn hair. I stood there happy and contended.

| Devonport |
The day was going perfect. I
and my friend took pictures, played games and had snacks. After a few hours, we
arrived at our most awaited destination “THE DEVONPORT”. I could see the waves
dancing, bouncing on the ocean floor and I could also hear the birds sing, I
could experience the smell of the fresh air in abundance. The Devonport is such
a beautiful and quiet place that it soothes my soul by looking at its beauty. I
enjoyed myself, no concerns, no stress.

Nothing but good vibes and blue sky!!

My friend and I went ahead and started
exploring the food street because we were really hungry. The street was full of
amazing restaurants and cafes. We were totally mad by the smell of coffee. One
of my favorite corners of heaven, Correlie's café.

Inhale the caffeine, exhale the negativity.

A short stack of waffles and sweet.

2:00 p.m.
The beach looked so beautiful and so calm and
the sun was shining bright. The sand looked clean like sugar spread out for
miles, as it squished between our toe. The waves crashed into one another, the
breeze blowing from the tide, the smell of the salty ocean and the sticky air.

The beach: where doing absolutely nothing is
doing something.

I and my friend sat there quietly, click some
pictures, played games and slept for a while. We had
the radio on our favorite channel, and the music was loud. We both were lost in
the music and the beauty of the sea. We walked
close to the sea after a few minutes, dug our feet under the warm coarse-grained
sand and wrapped our toes around it as we sat quietly near the ocean shore. It was
warm, summer afternoon. The sun smiled at us as we sat on the warm, moderate
sand; the bright sun gleamed like tiny crystals over the water as the monstrous
waves peaked and crashed with loud, swinging sounds into each other. The shore
was surrounded by the foam and bubbles from the rumbling waves, while pieces of
seaweed and algae were disposed of from their freezing skin. It even reached
out sometimes and washed away viciously sandcastles that kids playfully built
along the shoreline. Around the amazing beach, people of all the ages set
themselves out for an incredible afternoon, as they ran around in their swimsuits, danced to fast-beat music and
sunbathed peacefully on the tan-colored sand. Although the water seemed a bit
too chilly to swim, I and my friend decided to give it a try, at first, we hesitated, but soon
adjusted to the coldness and pursued our fun, sprinkling the seawater on our
numbing bodies. We went on an enjoyable afternoon playing endless volleyball
games. It was a great day in the end.
By
this trip, we learned a lesson that you can enjoy your life if you really want
to in any situation. It does not really matter that you should have a lot of
money or expensive cars, if you really want to do something then you can even
do that in less. There are many people who believe that if you have money then
only you can be happy. This is not true. You can remain happy in any way if you
have the will to. Money certainly helps but it is really not a pre-requisite
for happiness. We are chasing so much after money that we have forgotten to
enjoy the special little moments in our life. The purpose
of life is to live it, to taste the experience to the full, to reach out with
eagerness and without fear for a unique and rich experience.
