12 Oct Pool Shenanigans
I’m a water person. I spend hours taking pictures of water – whether it be a small water fountain or of waves crashing over the rocks or even tiny raindrops on the window.
I even learnt swimming just so I could sit and play in the pool for hours on end. This picture below is of the swimming pool where I did exactly that – spent the entire morning splashing around. I didn’t know swimming yet, and so I used a life ring to keep me afloat.
When I finally got out I had a sunburn so bad it sent my parents scrambling for skin ointments and aloe vera gels. (By the end of this trip I had a broken arm too but that’s another story.)
Needless to say, I wasn’t allowed anywhere near the pool for the remainder of the trip.

Posted at 06:53h, 12 OctoberI love the water too and as a self proclaimed mermaid from another life, no one can force me out of the water. Except sunburns, yep, they’re pretty convincing. Hahaha π
Wandering Soul
Posted at 07:00h, 12 OctoberHahaha! Yeah, no arguing with those π

Posted at 09:20h, 12 OctoberI hope your sunburn wasn’t too bad and you healed quickly. But I’m guessing the whole time the water kept you cool the whole morning π I am not a huge fan of swimming but I do like wading in water at the beach π
Wandering Soul
Posted at 09:54h, 12 Octoberhaha! Yes, that it did. π at the beach, I am a little scared of the waves. They’re known to be temperamental. π But must be fun, i assume. π

Posted at 06:00h, 13 OctoberI know! Just didn’t want to get out although it looks lovely from the outside too. This is in Thailand. Have you ever been to Thailand?

Posted at 03:42h, 14 OctoberSeemed you came back with good memories in spite of your injuries. I envy people who take to the water as I can only deal with it in very civilised pools! Unfortunately I have a deep rooted fear of water π
Wandering Soul
Posted at 03:46h, 14 OctoberI certainly did! π I know what you mean. I am scared of open seas too but splashing in the pool is pure bliss. π

Posted at 06:11h, 14 OctoberThe pool looks too tempting to avoid. howz the sunburn dear.
Wandering Soul
Posted at 06:59h, 14 OctoberIt was just as amazing as it looks. The sunburn was bad at that time. Had to keep a thick layer of aloe Vera gel applied at all times. Took days to heal. Thanks for asking. π

Posted at 01:14h, 15 OctoberThat pool does look lovely – and tough luck with the broken arm! I have two kids : one who loves the water and one abhors it with a vengeance, so for me pool time is literally spent at the edge of the pool. Ha ha π
Wandering Soul
Posted at 03:03h, 15 OctoberHahaha! That sounds like a job right on the edge. π

Posted at 07:26h, 25 OctoberI can find myself in here π I used to be crazy for water when I was little, splashing about and refusing to come out of pools. Filling the bathtub with soapy water and playing with the squeaky ducks and other aquatic squeaky toys was always a favourite kiddie hobby of mine π I still love watching fountains and waves passionately.
Wandering Soul
Posted at 10:37h, 25 OctoberMe too. π I love the bath tub even now. Unfortunately we don’t have one at home but on vacations I try booking hotels with bathtubs π Thank you for commenting. π
