We brought the kids to Lumut beach last weekend.
Finally, I know!
For many unavoidable reasons, we have been disappointing them over and over again or as I quote one very annoyed 6-year-old, “We are back for SO LONG and we still have not been to the beach!”. The said beach is less than 5 mins drive away, so yes she has a good reason to be upset.
But the thing is, I do not like beaches.
My idea of a place to relax would be either the jungles or mountains. It’s not that I fancy hiking boots or ski jackets so much, but I like the fact that these places are temperature-wise, cooler.
But I digress.
Now back to why do I not like beaches. It’s because watching the waves does nothing to my soul (like it is supposedly able to do). Playing in the sand always makes we wary of uncovering something dangerous or unsavoury (knowing our local beach users).
And most of all, I hate with a capital “H”, beach sandflies that never give me a break!
That’s right kids – this beach trip will have to last for a few weeks.
