I inhaled the aroma of coffee mixed with the distinctive scent of the beach. The sand and the slight fishiness of the water lapping against the waves. Also, the wet scent of freshly lapped sand.
It was a beautiful afternoon. I hadn't set foot on the beach in a long time. For me, life is full of things to do. And we don't get to do the things we love every day. To live a balanced life, we also have to do things we sometimes even hate.
So, this time I was here on a beautiful beach, even though the weather was getting dark and it looked like it was about to rain. But the beauty of this beach was truly something to enjoy for what it was.
Actually, I went to the beach. This wasn't really about the beach. I wanted to try the coffee, which people say is delicious. It had good reviews. That's why it's so crowded, especially in the afternoon.
For just $1.50, I got a hot cappuccino. It was a beautiful experience. I didn't take many photos of my coffee order. But I was more focused on the beautiful views around here.
As you know from my previous post, I was traveling to visit my husband's family. It was quite a long trip. So my husband took me to the beach.
He said that after the important family event was over, he would take me to the beach. I didn't mind. Whether I went to the beach or not, the important thing was that the main event was over. Then my husband kept his promise and took me to the beach.
Well, since the beach area has an expensive entrance fee, we opted to visit cafes or coffee shops with direct beach access. That's a key trick. Ehehe.
Here I am now at Kamalika Beach Cafe. With a beautiful beach vibe, it doesn't need much decoration. Just the addition of lights that become even more beautiful after dark.
I see so much happiness and joy on this beach. Look at the many young people chatting and spending their youthful time.
There are also small families playing on the beach. I felt it was a precious and joyful moment for everyone who witnessed it. As we all know, it's not easy to spend time with family, right? Like this time, I had time with my husband to spend coffee on the beach.
If my house were near this beach, I'd definitely come here more often, but since my house is far from the beach, it feels like a stroke of luck to be able to visit this beautiful beach. Oh yes, if it's a really sunny day and you can see the sunset, the blue of the sea water will beautify this beach. But we have to accept what God has given us right now, right? So, even though the atmosphere was a little dark, I felt a sweet sense of gratitude for the surrounding atmosphere, especially the delicious coffee I was drinking.
Even though this coffee only costs a dollar and a half, it tasted very good. It was strong enough with a hint of sweetness, just what I wanted.
I hope you have a wonderful time with your family in the midst of your busy schedules. And don't forget to drink your favorite coffee or tea for a mood boost. See you!
