| 'HAVE ICE CREAM' haha |
This morning
we had a lovely, relaxed yoga set – part of the cria being to aid digestion,
exactly what we needed with slight constipation from the constant travelling
and the lack of routine in our diet. Part of the meditation involves singing
for 11 minutes, it really lifts you, especially in the morning. ‘Universe’
means 1 song, so playing into the nature of the world and its surroundings we
joined its harmony and said Buenas dias to another beautiful and sunny day.
Mum
finished off her 31 minute meditation as i swam and lounged around, managing to
successfully focus through another chapter of my book that’s not in the chapter
of a man travelling through India, so the fact that I can relate to a lot of
what he’s talking about makes the read slightly more gripping – though the
constant dates and historical facts do cause my mind to wonder. We shared two
great breakfasts, one of poached eggs and buttered toast, and the other of
fresh fruits, muesli and yogurt. With a king coconut each for hydration and a
press of coffee for a kick. I sorted out my whole music folder on my computer
with the minimal access to wifi after breakfast. The guteral feeling of sorting out things
on your computer was such a beautiful relief.

| Is it literal?! |
We returned back to basics (our hut), lathered up in
sun-cream and lay in the sun with my afternoon joint. The high hit me and i
got into the music zone again, in my mind i had a realization of ‘the lightbulb
effect’ when you hear a song and realize how much you can connect to it, or how
much you love it or understand the beats and why they’ve been mixed the way
they have. Weed makes you notice detail I find, I watched the ants crawl across
the segmented pine leaf, I remember noticing the segments looked similar to spiders legs. I watched my feet standing in the sand, they slowly disappeared as
the sand sucked them up, and around me I watched the little clam-like sea
creatures bubbling and elegantly drifting into the sand to be hidden from
predators like me! Muahaha. No i’m joking – we decided to have a little walk,
that turned into an hour and a half there and back, but it was worth it – we
worked up an appetite and discovered another niche of the beach. It was
slightly livelier, browned tourists lay on colourful beach beds, under great
blue and pink umbrella’s.

| Mmmm, breakfasts |

| Siesta's |
We passed ‘Happy herb pizza’ with the promo sign
reading ‘A JOINT $1.50’ – I didn’t know whether this was literal or not but it
sure tempted me. The psychedelic mushroom village was nearby too, consisting of lots of round huts with cone shaped roofs imitating mushrooms. We sat and ate tuna and boiled egg salad with a fresh wedge of
baguette. It filled the gap. After a quick dip in the sea we walked back, the
sun lightly heating our backs. It was great to walk along such a wild stretch
of beach with no development (yet). The day this place becomes industrialized
and infested with tourists i thought, it will lose it's magic.. it's special charm that hasn't been ruined by the manipulation of money. We’re really
enjoying the peace and the untouched-ness that this place offers. Right now we
sit in our basic hut, with the blinds down and the wind blowing like crazy – I
keep looking up and thinking our electric fan is switched on because the strength of the wind is turning the blades in an ‘on’ motion. The
sun’s setting and the light is darkening – it’s sundowner time.
