MY
BEST HOLIDAYS --- THE BEACH by:
Vaibhav Sagar
Crash,
Boom, Splash!!! The waves crashed on the beach lulling us to
sleep. We had finally reached Kuda Laut resort at Pelabuhan Ratu
after a long bumpy ride. The cottage allotted to us was really
beautiful and comfortable. I fell asleep in the extra bed
straightaway.
The
strange sound of the Gecko lizard, crickets and other nature
sounds woke me up. I could not wait to get to the beach, so I
hurriedly put on my swimsuit and with my beach toys rushed to my
friends cottage. The beach was just outside our cottage and the
view was magnificent. The sand was soft but black and the water
was a deep blue.
Millions
of tiny crabs scurrying all over and digging in the soft sand,
the target of our pursuit. In an hour I had a bucket full of
crabs and my swimsuit full of sand. We jumped into the incoming
waves, boy it was cold! The waves cleaned us up and in the
process we were swept off our feet and our mouth and noses were
soon full of the salty water.
Breakfast
time!! I heard my mother call. We realized how hungry we were
and ran to the Kuda Laut café. Wolfed down delicious crepes
with ice cream, banana shakes. We then showed off our crabs to
all the people in the Café. We ran back to the beach with our
younger sisters in tow to make sand castles on the beach.
Sand
castles can make you hot, sweaty and very sandy. To cool down we
all went swimming in the lovely swimming pool and drank coconut
water. The attendants climbed up the surrounding tall coconut
palms like monkeys to get us the very fresh coconuts.
Long
walks on the beach with my parents and friends looking for
seashells and beautiful round stones filled the rest of the
days. All meal times at the Café were accompanied with music
and dancing and ordering anything that took my fancy.
This
must have been one of my most fun-filled days at the beach. Am
looking forward to the next long weekend to go there again.
