We arrive,tired, but excited, acres of green and a long driveway<\/p>\n
are all that separate us from a few quiet days.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bright lights,night tennis none of us know the rules.<\/p>\n
We laugh and run, chasing balls.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A warm bath, deep soaking, so quiet no inside<\/p>\n
no outside.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Loading the car, clothes and snacks, bodied and toys.<\/p>\n
A book from a long untouched stuck. Computers and phones,<\/p>\n
Way to many cords.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The beach,the track,the 10km walk, no water bottles, tears<\/p>\n
Military ruins, exploration a bus back.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The ferry, lunch, the view from shore to shore, history decorating the walls.<\/p>\n
Packing up, all our things home.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
