#799 - Sea front in Liwliwa Zambales for today.

Lovely evening dear fellow Hiveans. It's a sleepless day for me this Wednesday. I was early to be away from keyboard, thirty minutes before our handover at work because we were in a rush. I drived my mother in law's sister and the husband to the airport even though their flight was still at noon time because our workhorse is part of the number coding for Wednesday so we have no choice but to leave early so we can avoid getting caught and flagged down by traffic enforcers at seven in the morning. We arrived at the airport at exactly seven in the morning which is also the start of the coding and those cars ending their plate number with 5 and 6 on the road will get a ticket and fine. I don't want that reflecting on my drive license. The coding in the morning time starts from seven to ten in the morning, so we had to wait for ten am before we can drive back home. We arrived before noon time at home and that's when I went to sleep for a few hours but then had to wake up early because I had to report to the office which is now as of this posting.😅 Very tiring day indeed.

For today shots we have some of our photos taken when we were back in Zambales just me and the wife. We went here to unwind and relax even just for an overnight because there's too much stress in the office back particularly for the wife. She was the one who wanted to go out of town and we used her saving for the expenses. These shots were during the next early morning while the sun was busy rising. We went to the shore and it was low tide that time and the sky was blue also when the water was calmer compared to the afternoon time.

This is the nipa hut we spent the night on. Literally a small hut with just a bed and small space for our stuff. It has a ladder with few steps before we can reach the door. It's interesting that there's a small electric fan and a source of light inside. There's also a mosquito net in case there are bugs in the evening but we haven't used it.

Moving back to the shore where we spent more than an hour during the early morning of our second day. The front of the shore is covered with thick pine trees of different kinds and sizes, no coconut trees at all just pine trees.

Then after I was done dipping in the water, my wife request that I also took photos of her while she's in the shallow part. The waves are small and not as extremely as that during the afternoon when we arrived the other day. The waves were big and great for surfing which is the reason lots of young people come here. This is also the best time for children to experience the sea when it's calmer. There were many other visitors that came out early with their family and kids to dip in the water.

Lastly is a shot of me just after I was done also swimming. Water level after a few meters from the shore is still shallow and won't reach my height for the next few meters away from the shore.
