After returning from the lovely carnival, I was immensely happy. So happy that i didnt want to while away the evening sitting at home and doing nothing. And what better thing to do which gives me more happiness and which i love doing. A long long drive !!!.
So i took out the car and without any destination in mind, headed on to the beach road. Nice music playing on, cool breeze, the evening sun set everything was simply beautiful. I took onto the old highway, cruising around at speed of about 100kmph. The was minimal traffic on this old highway going through lush green hills. I was driving with no worries, no fear, humming the music along in the cool breeze.
Driving and driving, i reached the city of Larnaca. Traversing around in my car, i reached the Larnaca Marina and beach. And the scenes there thrilled me more.
A carinval on the beach. People in all costumes and music playing around, scores of people strolling the beach area in the evening. I parked my car and went for a nice walk to soak in the festive spirit.
At the marina, there were plenty of mini tour-boats and yatch tied to the bay. Parallel to the beach were people enjoying the carnival. And for all the growling stomachs, there was Mcdonalds, pizza hut, kfc and humdreds more filling them and doing brisk business. I took a quick bite at KFC and resumed my walk.
After spending around half an hour, i was overjoyed. 2 carnivals in a day. Nothing more could i have asked for.
It was now time to head back home, a good 80 km drive back.
I returned from the same old highway, cruising and enjoying and simply happy. But perhaps something was destined to go wrong and so it happened. While on the beach road with a good amount of traffic, i got totally lost in the mood and a song, that i braked. A lil too late on that, and bumped into the car ahead. We both got down, the man got angry but good for me it was just a minor scratch or 2 on his car. And maybe he was also in a good mood from the carnival, that he forgave me and let go.
A had one of the best days in cyprus. And one of my most memorable drives. A vagabond's drive.
