We've been waiting for the sun's beams for the past few days, despite the fact that the rainy season is in full swing here. The weather was cloudy all day, with sporadic showers but gray skies and cool temperatures about 18-19 °C(64°F), making it even more difficult to leave the house. It's good because the sun drove away the large clouds this morning (Tuesday) and returned to the blue sky after 12 p.m., despite the fact that the atmosphere isn't completely clean. I walked out to get some warmth without hesitation and went for a walk on the beach about 1km from my house.
Even though it was just 3 p.m., there were more people out than on previous desolate days, either because the winter sun wasn't as hot and humid as it had been, or because they were as eager for the sun as I was. I adore middle-aged men who ask each other to go swimming in the sea; I find the water to be extremely chilly, and the large waves frighten me. The source water rushed into the sea from huge and small currents after the recent rains, making the sea water hazy near the shore. Finding a blanket to sunbathe on the sand will be more intriguing.
Normally, a large number of Westerners sunbathe there, but due to the Covid outbreak, most of them have returned home. Only a few people remain, balancing on a rope linked to two coconut trees or the guy about to go surfing. The other half is dedicated to the thrilling water sport of volleyball. Despite being invited, I did not participate because I am not very good at this subject. Instead, I choose to remain a spectator and enjoy the show. I believe they are likewise pleased with the sunny day, based on their faces.
Walking down the coast on the sidewalk, according to Covid, will feel quite vividly. Simply because there will be a plethora of hotels, restaurants, and stores selling souvenirs and services along the seafront. When the premises were evacuated, the atmosphere was dismal, with the majority of them closed or allowed to rot. I don't take many photos of their architecture since, to be honest, it doesn't stand out when it comes to blending many types into one, and it appears to be fairly rough and inflexible. Another feature is the sea, which is deserted even on sidewalks and highways. I recall the commotion from before.
With rows of coconut trees and well-kept lawns, the walking route that leads all the way to the sea is rather lovely; some people relax beneath the trees while their children play, while others fish and drop nets. There were only a few swimmers and surfers in the water. I also noticed pigeons on gorgeous nests near the seaside plaza; they were unconcerned as I arrived and continued their free fly around the circle. Everyone has a favorite pastime, such as hiking and working out.
Because the underground cable installers do not adequately fence and clean up the road near the mountain, it appears to be quite unkempt and unsightly. Because the surroundings were dusty, there were a lot of people, and I moved swiftly.
A modest fishing boat anchorage is located on the Son Tra peninsula. When viewed against the backdrop of the opposing big buildings, it is pretty lovely. Fishermen are rushing to the boat with little baskets to bring equipment and supplies. It highlighted their healthy tanned skin in the sun. Littering and waves have resulted in a significant amount of waste. Almost everything is returned to you by the water. That's something to consider.
Despite having traveled such a distance, I will not be disappointed if I miss the sunset on another lovely day. Wait by walking down the nearest coastal cliff. I consider myself fortunate that the weather that day was pleasant and that the sun was not obscured by clouds. When watching the sunset above the modern metropolis, this is a wonderfully melodious relaxation. Many lovely moments of life are captured in a single day. Even though I was not born and nurtured in this beautiful seaside city, I am proud of it.
