What do you get when you do not plan a local trip and it happens impromptu? Are you prepared for surprises? Something similar happened when we went to the Flamingo beach in Doha.
Yeah yeah the name sounds like an exotic beach in Venezuela with those beautiful necked birds coming to you and feeding grains right off your palm. That's what we thought and went prepared to see this..
And we actually saw this..
We thought we'll have a barbecue with nicely done steaks glistening with barbecue sauce and enjoying them watching the cool winds from the sea. But we had this...
...in our cars with babies screaming for their share and someone holding the Pepsi, fries and twister all in one hand. Don't ask how!
As with all beach trips we had our camera ready for beautiful beach pics..but we saw something else....
So you would ask by now did we enjoy?..
Yes we did. Not a surprise because when good friends are their and when its cold and chilly there is nothing warmer than their company and a relaxing afterwards from the 'beach trip' with a good mug of cappucino! :) We chatted,laughed,cracked jokes at each other later at friends' home with fruit salad and humble burgers from White Tower food joint. My fav!
So what if our beach trip wasn't exactly as planned..Life does not plan to make you laugh...how can you plan it yourself!
Happiness is a surprise at times. ....and doublefold when it is a surprise!
Cheers!
