One night on the seashore ... and an unexpected friend

in #english6 years ago

Hello again my friends! Today I have come to share an unforgettable experience, two years ago I went on a trip with my friends to a very touristic place in Venezuela, it was a trip of 3 or 4 hours approximately by bus, the main idea was to go to a very famous beach called Cuyagua, where every year hundreds of Venezuelans go surfing and camping, in general to have a good time.

Unfortunately, when we arrived at the second bus station, we were told that there were no routes to this beach that day, we were so disappointed, because we had planned this trip for a long time, and we traveled 3 hours just to get here. The bus driver seeing us hopeless told us that although he could not take us to Cuyagua whose trip would be around 30 minutes, he offered to take us to Cata's Bay. We did not know where that was, but since we were there and we had nothing to lose, we accepted his offer. The trip lasted approximately 10 minutes, when we reached the beach realized that it was practically empty, except for a father and his son who camped not so far from us.

We settled next to a body of fresh water that was surprisingly close to the seashore, which was obviously salty. Which was very interesting to see these two type of waters so close to eachother.

When we finished settleling down , some of my friends went to find some firewood, when they returned they told us that near the mountain they had found a "plank" like the one in the cartoon "Ed, Edd, and Eddy" of the 90's. It seemed very funny. I wonder who made it, and why they left it in that remote place. However, this little character became another member of the group and accompanied us on our unpredictable journey.

Many things happened to us during the trip, we met two street dogs that stayed with us, and we name them ham and cachapa (It's like a corn tortilla), because at one point we were careless and the dogs got into the tents to eat our food ... so we stuck with the names.

Despite all this, we also had many good moments. We have fun in the giant waves that can only be found in these types of places, we bathe in the freshwater lake, we chat until late at night. We also became friends with some peddlers, that made me laugh until I almost died, to whom I bought a necklace made of leather that had a beautiful pink agate pendant, here some people call it "the stone of love".

It was a bit difficult to say goodbye to this beautiful place where we lived many good and not so good moments, although we only spent 3 days in here, I felt that this place has become a special. This experience taught me, that despite your plans don't seem go as planned, that doesn't mean that they will not be an unforgettable experience at the end. Things may seem out of control, but sooner or later everything will fit into place.

Ahh! and if you wonder what happened with our friend Planck ... He still with us in all our adventures, because now and always will be part of the family.
