Despite the chilly 8 degrees Celsius and the promise of rain, a small yet determined group of five walkers braved the cold for our club’s usual Saturday morning walk. Starting from the village supermarket, we embarked on our journey towards the island under an overcast sky.
As we made our way to the lagoon, a weak but beautiful rainbow briefly graced the sky. The lush, leafy suburb welcomed us with a gentle dusting of rain. The sight of the lagoon, its placid waters mirroring the grey sky, filled us with inspiration.
A light shower afterwards did little to dampen our spirits as we continued exploring new pathways on the island. Walking along the rim of the lagoon towards Placid Waters Hotel, we enjoyed views of both the serene expanse of the lagoon and the impressive mansions facing it. Our efforts were rewarded with the sighting of a lone Grey Heron, casually feeding in the waters—a rare and thrilling moment.
Feeling joyful and accomplished, we returned to our starting point. Braving the weather brought us not just closer to nature, but also to each other, proving once again the rewards of persistence and camaraderie.
