My Day at the Beach Orientation
Last week my friend and I were bored after three weeks of holidays, so we rode our bikes to Smith Beach, which is only five kilometers from where I
live. When we arrived at the beach, we were surprised to see there was hardly anyone there.
First event
After having a quick dip in the ocean, which was really cold, we realized one reason there were not many people there. It was also quite windy. After we
bought some hot chips at the takeaway store nearby, we rode our bikes down the beach for a while, on the hard, damp part of the sand. We had the wind behind
us and, before we knew it, we were many miles down the beach.
Second event
Before we made the long trip back, we decided to paddle our feet in the water for a while, and then sit down for a rest. While we were sitting on the
beach, just chatting, it suddenly dawned on us that all the way back, we would be riding into the strong wind.
Reorientation
When we finally made it back home, we were both totally exhausted But we learned some good lessons that day.
