the camp turned out to be a blessing after all.
the best moment of the camp happened on the second day when we went to a nearby island to snorkel. as i stood on a sand bank that cuts the sea into two, i could watch the waves roll in towards me, and feel the gushing waters sweep over my feet to cross over to the sea behind. far ahead, i could see the hills on a distant island, its peak hiding shyly amongst the clouds.
it wasn't long before the best moment turned into a frightening scene, as a storm caught us by surprise. up in the sky, the dark clouds gathered above our heads to glare intently at the unwelcomed guests below, and even the wind was determined to blow us off the small strip of land. with our bodies drenched with sea water and rain, we had to wait patiently for the speedboat to pick us up and send us back to the main island. the rest of the day happened in a blur.
but i remember, the night was calm and cool. and i was happy for everyone's safety, and the sense of security i felt deep inside.
