Am I Goddess Or What - 9 09.The magic is there,is it?
I smelled the sea even when we were in the room,but when went out the light breeze brought so many more tastes.I could smell the sea ,the purity of the air and even the trees .Is it because there was no settlements,no humans and no pollution that this amazing air felt so purifying.
We slowly walked toward the forest.By the way.We took our shoes off before we want there.I mean all that sand would get in and then we would just waste time getting it out of our shoes and clothes.
The sand felt warm under the feet.It felt so comfortable.
While wearing backpacks on our backs, the shoes in our hands we still didn’t feel uncomfortable in any way.When we got close to the spot where our cats were waiting we stopped for min.I turned around and saw the gate to my room.But then I turned the head around and looked toward the sea.
The ”sky”was blu-ish gray but it was still beautiful.In the sky, I could see some birds flying.The sea had a beautiful green blue hue.The waves hit in a calm manner the few rocks that were protruding out of the sea.The whole sight made it feel so unreal.
I turned around and we approached the forest.The trees near the beach were all kind of palm trees and banana trees.I could even see all kind of other southern trees and plants.We put our socks and shoes on and went straight into the forest.
The cats went in front of us as to show us the proper path.I just hoped to find the creek so we could follow it.Our little group slowly went forward but because there were not many bushes on our way, we had an almost clear path.Or just cats led us nicely.
The trees were from various plants so we picked up some and eat as we walked.Even the bushes were the one we knew and were edible.This is strange by itself.How comes these fruits came here…
After about two hrs of a stroll, we arrived at the creek.We didn’t walk fast.We just enjoyed the view so we were slow.When we arrived at the creek I took out the test tube to check if the water was drinkable. The test shortly showed any kind of heavy metals or bacteria that we could test at it.So we just drank water straight from the creek.The taste was so refreshing and invigorating Clearly felt like I could walk more.Din’t feel tired at all.
”Kids,do you feel tired?Do you need to rest? I asked while feeling full of energy.
”Actually we wanted to know the same.If you want we could rest for a while.I actually feel quite refreshed from the water we drank. Like the kick from the energy drink.Strange.”she said while her boyfriend nodded the head.
”I actually feel the same.When I drunk it I felt so refreshed,it felt like battery refill.It is ok even this way.Lets continue.The air is refreshing,the water is invigorating and the fruits are refilling. What more can we ask for?”I said while already preparing for a walk.I looked at the creek and it seemed not so deep because it was as clear as glass.You could see all kind of aquatic creatures swimming ,crawling and floating around.
”Lets catch some fishes for lunch.The kitties will need some real food as well.”I said while walking slowly by the stream.The creek seems to be shallow but it could be an illusion.I will find out later anyway when we get to rest.
I looked at the watch and it was already 10.30 am.We walked already for over two hrs but the strange thing is…I didn’t sweat or feel tired.This is the first time I don’t feel any tiredness after such a walk.
The creek didn’t go straight through forest.It had its twists and turns,but the riverside was flat.I guess we won’t see any slopes as it seemed that the whole place is flat.It was easy to walk like that and we went quite a while.
Around midday, we felt hungry and we tried to find a place that could let us rest for while.Strange thing.We walked since this morning but none of felt a bit tired.While walking none of us spoke as we listened to surroundings just in case of some danger.The only sound we could hear is some birds chirping and calling and leaves in the wind.I realized..no flies or mosquitoes.
I mean,we are in mid of forest and near water we should hear some buzzing around us…but nothing.
I stared at the creek and asked myself what do fishes eat if there were no insect or insect larvae.Not only that …what do the birds eat if there are no flies or mosquitoes?
While wondering I walked slowly and right around the corner I saw something like an extension of the coast … A bit larger river bank.We choose to have lunch here.
As the riverbank seemed larger the opening gave us as well better view at the mountain.Even from the beach, we could see it but not as clear as now.We could clearly see the waterfall from here and high walls.Even a little rainbow catch my eyes.I couldn’t wait to see full beauty.
”Should we catch some fishes.I am hungry but I don’t feel like eating or fishing at the moment.”I sad while sitting down.I looked at the cats and saw them getting close to the river.I felt a bit afraid they might drown if they fall in so I stood up and choose to catch some fishies for the kitties.
But at that moment they choose each one spot on the river and started hitting the water as to catch the fishes.
I stared at the kids and they at me while we wondered will the cats be ok. But just in that moment one of the cats slapped the water and got herself smaller baby fish.The other two soon after got their own and they got enough to be full. Cats are wild animals deep inside. Even tho we might feel they are pets and we should protect them but in nature they might sustain themselves just fine.I turned around and sat near my bag.
”Ok.Who wants fishes?”I asked them while thinking about the food we had in our bags.
”Mom we do not need to fish now.We would have to make fire and cook.We can do that at the waterfall.We can just eat some dry biscuits and fruits on our way.Accept that we have clean water to drink.”She said while pulling out of the backpack bag of biscuits.We shared it and got our self some fruits from the bushes near the river.
I felt call of nature and took the shovel and toilet paper and went bit further into the forest.After I came back they choose to relive themselves as well and I advised them to bury it into the earth.Just in case.After we refreshed ourselves, we continued our trip.
After two more hrs we saw the trees lighting up and we could clearly see the mountain wall and the waterfall.The sight was breathtaking.Even tho we walked for 6-7 hrs by now we didn’t feel any fatigue.But we could see we have to walk for sure few more hrs to get to the sea.
Even tho the trees got more and more sporadic, it was still long way to there.We set our feet and started walking again.Its quite strange.Since begin of our trip til now I didn’t feel tiered or weak in any kind of way.On contrary ,I felt like I got some vitamin shot .Is it because the fruits and water?This place is clearly wondrous.
The strangest thing now is…the speed.Yep the speed was so strange.In beginning we just strolled slowly watching the nature around us,but after our brake at begin we stopped talking and sped up.
The speed I personally walked was so amazing.How is this even possible for me to walk this fast and not to sweat or feel tiered at all?
I wondered and looked at the cats in front of me.I realized they were vigorous as well whole time.Jumping around and running like they are not tiered at all.My cats have some energy.I guess at home they held back or if they had this energy at home,not even one stone on another would be left standing.
I could feel the sun gradually darkening and hoped we could get to the lake before nightfall.I think if we keep our speed in other 30-40 mins we will be able to be by the lake shore.As my prediction came true we were there in time before sunset.
First we saw water flashing trough the trees, but soon we came out of the forest and saw large grassland or meadow surrounding the sea. We stood there in awe as the sight of waterfall was so stunning.It was amazing as on the video but seeing it yourself it gives refreshing feeling.
It came straight out of mid of mountain.The spray of water refreshed our sins and we choose to set camp not far from where we came from.
We hurriedly set our tents and the two lovebirds went in search for dry branches.I looked at them smiling and got my shovel from my backpack…We don’t have time to find stones so its better to just make whole in the earth and later one we can cover the ashes and and ember so we don’t start any forest fire.
While I prepared my fishing gear I saw those two coming back with hands full with dried branches and wood.We put it inside the hole and I used electric fire starter to light fire.Reusable.And rechargeable.Well, looking at the sky we still had over an hour before sunset so I set my gear and went to the lake.As I got closer I could see the cats jumping around water and catching smaller fishes and other things . It fired me up to catch few.If they can do it I can as well.So I taught.
I set the chair near the water.Took the socks and shoes off and put mt feet into the water.Even tho I didn’t feel tired but still, the feet were for hrs in the shoes.I got the strange idea to smell the socks and shoes, no stench at all.And the socks were just perfectly fine.Not even wet from sweat like usually when I walk a lot.I truly got happy about that fact.
Then strange taught crossed my mind.Can I lose some weight while I am here?Is it possible?…
