Staying Afloat this Summer
Today is the 5th day of my holiday and my tan is coming along nicely. I haven’t felt this relaxed since a heavenly massage I received back in October last year back home. Italy really is one of my favourite places to holiday in. The hotel here Hotel Villa Sant Andrea is right next to the sea. I am a great fan of swimming and get up early each morning before Roger even starts to stir. When I reach the beach I climb up on some rocks and dive straight in, I come up gasping from the chilly waters depths.
Now swimming I love, but I have a great fear of touching the sea bed, which provides a problem when I need to leave the sea. I am a strong swimmer so can stay out for some time, and in any case the waters around here are relatively calm, so floating is always an option. You may wonder why I have such a fear, and I believe it just a nervousness of touching things that I cant see, in any case even if I could see the sand swirling around my ankles, what lies beneath that delicate top layer of sand is anyone’s guess. A poisons fish? A sharp object? A net I could get tangled in?
So once out there I wait, for as long as it takes for Rodger to come and rescue me, like a re-inactment of Baywatch he strolls down the beach and comes crashing into the sea in what seems like slow motion, oozing every inch of David Hasselhoff except the red swimming trunks. I hope my holidays will always be this blissful!
