Ah so today the weather was realllly hot and we had chosen to clean the beach especially when the rubbish was just layering the landscape like a rubbish dump. You often see women in hibayas and children floating in the sea and 'sunbathing' amongst the rubbish dump! THE RUBBISH DUMP. The Beach has so much potential to be a great place to sit and enjoy the view of the ravishing sea and its tortoise shaped rock but the overwhelming rubbish just spoils the hard work and effort everyone ploughs into the beach. However, education is the key and it will happen if organisations here make a concerted effort to educate not only the people but the staff of hotels, councils, shops etc Its got to be a national campaign. What made me laugh the other day was the fact that three could be Eastern Europeans noted by their accents, were sunbathing amongst the rubbish, they looked so silly and were red as lobsters it was a funny sight. I couldn't help it and shouted out to them 'hey where's the suntan lotion'...I got a big GRUFF back!
I have to applaud Michael and Christina who on their last day of holiday before they return to Germany volunteered to help us clean the beach. They worked tirelessly and with lots of humour helping to clean 3km worth of beach and it was glaringly hot. We even swept up the dead goat and nappies on the beach. Troopers. They explained that they wanted to show their commitment since their daughter in Germany is a Greenie. I was impressed and immensely grateful. Christina has been really supportive in my fear of jumping off the boat often chanting my name ' huma, huma, huma'..It warms the cockles of my heart!
