Another day in Paradise - Rough sea, drizzle sand castle and fun day!

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Hello my lovely friends of Steemit!

How's your Sunday so far? Hope it is going great! Well mine was really nice and i'm just back home!

Since yesterday it's started to be little warm here in Mauritius which is kinda normal as summer is just behind the door! So today, I decided to make the first trip to the sea for this season to enjoy this nice weather!

The beach I chose to go is Flic-en-Flac, which is about 25 minutes drive from my home! When I reached , the weather was just about ok, with little sun and the sea was quite ok too!

Once I got off the car, my daughter, Rheem was already in the sand playing!

Minutes later, omg...all of a sudden the sea became so rough and there were big waves too! It was great that Rheem was not in the water at that time, but still the waves reached her and me too!
Apparently the sea was not good since some days, I was really not aware!

It was better not to play there and we moved a little bit more on the up. You can see the damage that the waves were doing to the beach.

Washing on shore all types of algue and sea herbs!!!

I found this mysterious herb to be quite lovely!

So to have some fun, I decided to teach Rheem how to make drizzle sand castles!
Well I just learned it too recently, thanks to @papa-pepper, @little-peppers and @grandpa-pepper!

It all started like this!

Upgraded to this some minutes later!

And with the help of Rheem, we completed our lovely looking castle!

Isn't it looking nice with the trees and walkway!?

After spending approx. 4 hours, I decided to go back home as the sea was still rough! Well, we went somewhere else before going home, you can check @creativewoman blog for more about it!

Despite not being able to have a swim, we all enjoyed playing in the sand, and it was really a great fun day!
Well it's just the start of the summer days, and for sure I will bring her so many times more!

The seeds we can see here... Are they 'Rudraksh' seeds? Anyways very beautiful...!!

They really look like Rudraksh seeds , but infact they are seeds from a tree named Filao. On all the beaches in Mauritius you find these trees, they are very tall trees and the seeds very beautiful!

I'm telling you I can't wait to see this competition. Great photographs, glad your little girl is safe and just enjoyed the sand.

Oh yes, the competition will really be a very interesting one for sure! Do check out @steemit-ironchef for more news on it!
Thanks so much for your nice comments!

Rheem is really cute, you are a lucky father.

Thanks so much my friend! You are just awesome with your lovely comments each time!

Your daughter's happy smile looks like an angel:)

Oh how sweet of you my friend! Wow!
Thanks so much for such nice compliment!

now that is a castle fit for a king...or queen

Hahaha! My daughter was telling me that it was for her only! Oh my god, she wanted to bring it home...imagine my state at that moment man!!!

Your Island home is a paradise Chef! Love the forest shot that looks close to the beach and of course the sand castle with Rheem. :)

Believe me, it really is my friend, it is so peaceful to live here.
Oh yes I had such a great time with Rheem, in a couple of weeks we will be in full summer, most of the time i'll be going to the seaside as she just love it!

Ah, cute!

Your daughter is ADORABLE!!! Just so damn cute 😊

We had flooding here in SA on the Eastern Cape. I wonder if these tides affected you guys?

Thanks so much for such nice compliment my friend! I do think it's the same tides, as the weather was great, no winds , no rain, just rough sea!
