This is the time that Mum tells me that she has never been in a kayak before! |
Life seems calmer when you are in a kayak on the water. It's such a peaceful feeling to be so close to the water and to see the scenery from a different perspective. Especially at sunset when the water is as still and calm as a pond. Mum and I took a sunset kayak tour last night and we were the only ones in the group. We paddled across the Ganges harbour and around Goat Island, where we saw seals playing and purple sea stars on the rocks. When we arrived at Chocolate Beach, we enjoyed tea and muffins while listening to our guide tell us about Indian life in times gone by. We headed back to Ganges, paddling directly into the setting sun. Half way home, the sun went down and it got very chilly all of a sudden. Once we arrived back on Deadman Island, we were grateful for a glass of wine by the fire side, where we felt almost as peaceful as we did on the water.
