Sunday evenings are usually a time for relaxation and rejuvenation. Definitely after worshiping In the early hours of morning, what other better way could you unwind and get set for the next week than spending a day at the beach? Trust me, it has been a long time since I did this. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to visit the Beach, Ibeno Beach 🏖️ precisely, and it turned out to be an experience I won't soon forget.
School was scheduled to resume on the 5th of January and I'll be back to school, study and stress, so I planned on making this trip worthwhile.
My day started early, with the warm sun peeking through the windows. I made breakfast for my siblings, got ready for church and left for church.
After church service, I came back to the house, made delicious rice and stew, packed my beach essentials – sunscreen, sunglasses, etc. off I set towards the beach.
Initially it looked like it wasn't going to work out because the bus to pick us up was available and I was still cooking in the kitchen. After everything it was getting way way late and the drive was about 2 hrs to get there.
The drive was scenic. Just because I couldn't meet up with the bus I had to get a taxi and hit the roads winding through villages and rolling hills.
As I arrived at the beach very late and my desire to take enough pictures was slowly fading away because the sun was gone and darkness was slowly breathing upon us.
Gosh the beach is always Beautiful No matter the time you go, trust me I was immediately struck by the Breathtaking vista before me. The water is always beautiful, the tides , the waves gently lapping against the shore way soothing.
It was already dark and I couldn't really play with the sand and pick seashells at the shore
I decided to take a leisurely stroll along the shoreline, feeling the sand between my toes and the sea spray on my skin. The beach was bustling with activity, and very crowded – everyone seemed to be enjoying their own little slice of this paradise.
Every step into the water 🌊, the sand was therapeutic, it gave me some healing power , I felt free, I felt light, I felt felt healed and the Breeze just blew every negativity away, this was just the best way to start to start the year. After walking for a few minutes , I decided to relax at the bar and get some snacks. We ordered grilled meat, fish barbecue with chips and salad, lobsters and a bowl of sea soup. We also got chilled drinks, popcorn, etc.
My Sunday beach experience was truly unforgettable. From the scenic drive to the beach, to the relaxing day spent soaking up and enjoying water activities, every moment was a treasure. After a long and beautiful day, the night was looming closer , so went set to hit the road back by 10pm in the night. Initially I didn't feel like going back but I needed to go back. We reached home by midnight, I was exhausted but also happy and refreshed.
My mantra from the Beach: Hurt, heal, flow just like the water, be unstoppable.🌊
