Travel (Outside of Canada)

Milky Way. Beautiful summer night on the sea in Ukraine

Once I went on vacations with some friends to a place where there were some beautiful beaches.  We decided to go to the beach and spend the night there, even though we were scared of the dangers during the night and what this could mean.  Sleeping under the stars in the open can be a very unique experience.  The sound of the ocean and the waves and the smell of the beach and sand can be very nice.

But, we were afraid of robbers and we had to keep a watchful eye on our belongings.  For this purpose, we were up all night trying to keep vigilant so nothing surprising happened all of a sudden during the night when we were fast asleep.

Consequently, we were really tired the next day and couldn't enjoy the beach.  But, at the same time, we enjoyed the night talking and telling stories about our childhood. In brief, we decided not to stay overnight at the beach under the moon and the stars and a clear sky but, instead to stay at a safer location when we go on another trip.
