As I said in my previous posts, we had a heatwave in August that was pushing temperatures up to 35 Degrees Celsius, which in combination with high humidity, felt like over 40! The only time during the day, for spending time outside was early in the morning... Last week, in my #WednesdayWalk post I shared with you a great 8 km walk that I took... Today, I'm sharing with you a bit shorter route around the small river...
I have shared a couple of times part of this route, but a different times of the year, it looks different! As we had (luckily it's not that hot anymore) that heatwave, the best location for a walk is far away from the city and town, far away from concrete and asphalt as they are causing even higher humidity than it is...
So, if you have a forest or a river close to your place of living, I would pick that place for a walk... Well, this was like that... The walk took on the banks of a small river, which is so small that it's not even visible in the photos... lol... But, there is a catch... As it provides water for plants, the vegetation around it is dense which helps in bringing "freshness"!
This is probably the "ideal house" in which I would like to live (and own) one day... It's not a 50-bedroom mansion, but a small house with a space for a garden, located close to the river, and outside the town center... It is not that far from the town (maybe a 20-30 min walk), but still have a feeling that you are far away from civilization... It has mountain views, and possibly a sea view from the balcony! What else can you ask for? Okay, maybe it is on the beach, but that would be too much... 😃
Just a few months ago, this was a dusty road and now it is asphalted... It's not that I'm a big fan of asphalt, but it helps a lot when you don't have huge muddy puddles in the autumn or winter... Which reminds me of Peppa Pig... lol

It was great to see that the roadworks didn't destroy these flowers on the side of the road! I remember that my grandma had this flower in her garden and it reminded me of my childhood... Like those innocent, carefree days of my life!
...following the path...
At a certain point, there is a small ranch beside the road... It is fenced, but this banana tree is growing outside the fence and I used the opportunity to take a photo!
...also, this guy came toward me to see what was happening and to protect his chicks! Nobody touches my chicks! 😂
...and there it is! The only photo of the river! I was passing the small bridge and took this image of the river upstream... On the other side, it goes to the sea... As you can see, the vegetation is pretty dense, especially when you know how it looks in other places where there is no water nearby... Water is LIFE and this photo proves that!
If you checked my last week's post, then you can recognize this part... It leads to the parking lot where I left my car...
The same as last time, after a walk, the next destination was a beach and cooling off!
Thank you for your time! I hope you enjoyed the walk,
